Mi'kmaq youths need to be inspired, they need to see more leaders achieving goals for them, they need people that pay attention to them,make them feel like they are important. Many communities do not have much offered for the youths. Many of the youths are bored and have noting offered within the community. Many of them are turning to drugs and crime. Yes this type of behavior needs to stop but what does a person do when the community is so poor that they can't get anything going for the youths. One things will be is just be there for them let them know that your there to talk, help or even plays games and sport with. Having someone like this in their life to and look up too can change a youth.
Chief Clarence Louie speech was very inspiring and I love how blint and outspoken he is about things. He shared about how he put inspiring quotes on the building within the community this is a really good idea. His main focus is on the Mi'kmaq youths he wants to show these youths and others how important working and having a jobs is. He speaks about how important the economical development is in communities and the issues within the communities when people do not work. He says a couple times in his speech that "people should be in school, at work or in counselling". Many of the Mi'kmaq people have to stop looking for hand outs and stop living on welfare. Doing something like going to school working or both will make a person feel so much better about life.
