I am cree, and belong to a long line of chiefs and medicine men

These are passed down to the oldest son of the oldest son

I'm the oldest son. My dad was the oldest, his dad was the oldest. Since I was a kid, I've been prep'd for this

Generations of traditions have been passed down

I struggle with this in many ways, being a gay man most especially. I feel a duty to pass this on to my own son, and to help heal people in need as I was taught

I need to embrace this, and this is my first step!
