TEDxYouth@Victoria - Bradley Dick - Honouring Tradition January 14, 2012

Favorite:

Bradley started the event off with a traditional welcome to the Lekwungen territory, where the event was held and shared a few words in his Lekwungen language.

Bradley also walks us through a brief exercise passed down from one generation to the next and teaches us a song.
