From growing up in a trilingual community shaped by colonial borders to finding purpose in sobriety and self-expression, Maïtée speaks with honesty and insight about language preservation, Indigenous governance, and the importance of civil disobedience in the face of systemic injustice. A conversation about nationhood, dignity, and the quiet revolution of being unapologetically yourself.
