“My parents found tradition and ritual very important, because they were both brought up that way and found comfort in it. They thought it was important for children to be kept on a schedule. You went home for the holidays, you went to mass on Sunday - no ifs, ands, or buts. That was ingrained in me from a very young age, and I think that's informed who I am in so many aspects of my life. I crave stability and a schedule and the security that comes along with it.” IfsThinkingWayChildrenImportantHomeAgeYoungFoundParentSecurityComfortMassAspectTraditionWho I AmHolidaySundayRitualStabilitySchedulesCraveYoung AgeHome For The Holidays Author:Chloe Sevigny
“The systems of stereotypes may be the core of our personal tradition, the defenses of our position in society. They are an ordered more or less consistent picture of the world, to which our habits, our tastes, our capacities, our comforts and our hopes have adjusted themselves. They may not be a complete picture of the world, but they are a picture of a possible world to which we are adapted. In that world, people and things have their well-known places, and do certain expected things. We feel at home there. We fit in. We are members.” PeopleWorldFeelsWellsMayHomeCertainKnownPositionHabitFitComfortTasteMembersCapacityTraditionDefenseExpectedCoreConsistentStereotypeWell KnownAdapted Author:Walter Lippmann

“The treatment of children in Indian residential schools is a sad chapter in our history...
