   True Education

   Hoksheda traces his family tree back to his ancestors: warriors on one side, and medicine people on the other. His great-grandfather was a holy man and held a rich knowledge of Indigenous customs and practices. It was from this man that Hoksheda’s true education began – not from a formal education, but from the oral traditions of his family.
