Manik

I am a son of a Haida and a Cree. I am now 22 years old. I have two young children. I have one wife and one dedication to the world. I understand the need to express ourselves as youth and/or people in this day and age. I disagree with a majority of "world leaders" which nowadays brands me as a terrorist or a novelty. My objectives are simple. Stand for and speak for what i believe. Listen to teachers that i can trust. When standing for what i believe never fear the opposition. Remember that peformance is a powerful way of communicating. Respect that power and use it against the lifestyles that hurt us as humans.
