The Reason You Walk by Wab Kinew

5.0

"The combined weight of the churches and the Canadian state had been set on crushing children like him when they were just little - barely five, six, or seven years old - but they did not break. They survived. They may have lost some of their friends, and may have been damaged along the way, but they did not give up. They kept speaking their language. They kept practising their culture. They kept praying the way their parents had taught them to. And they waited. "

"I am the reason you walk. I gave you motivation so you would continue to walk even when the path became difficult, even seemingly impossible."
