I believe they would just be under the category of Native Americans in the States. And I am Métis and so was my father. My dad was the reason and is the reason why I'm so proud. He was a very proud Indigenous man.

I had an older brother and a younger brother.

That's exactly what it was. Everyone knows everyone's business to a fault sometimes. But it's also nice because it's that community feeling It genuinely feels like home. That's just where my father had grown up as well. My mom is non-Indigenous. She grew up in St. Catharines, which is the place I call home now. And that's in Ontario, just a little bit outside of Toronto.
