Chasing the western ideal can turn out to be hollow, and lead to depression, if your spiritual self is not in the right place. For George Coe, that journey brought him back to his roots, by the river where he grew up. On country, George reconnected with the ancient ways that make him who he is today. Now his goal is to provide the kids of his community with direction, while placing the necessary emphasis on cultural wisdom, to ensure they don’t have to go down the tough path that he has walked before. George has big hopes for his community, and his people, and knows that respecting the land is the only way to get there.
