Such a beautiful tribute. I always thought this was a Gitxsan song but turns out it’s Kwakwakaʼwakw. It’s so beautiful 🧡💛♥️

When Joleen Mitton started working with Indigenous youth in her hometown of Vancouver, she didn’t talk about her past life modeling overseas. But now, she’s taking that experience and helping them achieve dreams they didn’t know were possible. @WatchSavannah has the story.
