"I want the world to be a safe space for Indigenou

"I want the world to be a safe space for Indigenous young people, so that they have a place out there, so that their dreams are possible. The country is responsible for what happened that summer and it’s up to the country to grapple with it, and make sure that something like this never happens again.”
