I laughed at the time and just said, "Well, I am" because that was the way I felt. I dream of him, too, and I know that he's proud of my resiliency and accomplishments. I have taken her to Siksika to see where we come from, she has bonded with her cousins, and they come here to see us. I was also never able to build the relationship with my father that I wanted. Eventually, I reconnected with my older siblings who grew up on our reserve and it was the most surreal experience. It was the way I was raised: Christian and honorary Dutch. I still loved my foster parent, but I began to resent her, the church and the people. It was a difficult feeling to reconcile as a child because I loved my father and wanted to live with him, but I also wanted stability. After I left the church, my relationship with my foster mother disintegrated. I was desperate for normalcy and acceptance, so I didn't mind that my foster parent made me go to church twice on Sundays. It was an ongoing joke that I was honorary Dutch — something my foster parent was fiercely proud of. Often, I didn't go to school and sometimes food was sparse.
