My Kukum (I drew my Kukum )

Hi, my name is Analisa. I am 11 years old. I have two dogs, two birds, five brothers and three sisters. My sister is 19 years old, and she has a little girl that is two years old. I have my mom and dad and including me makes twelve people in my family. I will name all of my brothers and sisters and my mom and dad. Their names are: Jason, Chivaun, Jaydon, Archie, Me, AJ, Matt, Kristi, Jamie, Kianna, mom, and dad. That’s all of my family's names!!!! So I have a very big family!!!!. Also, I am in grade four this year. My birthday is March 24!!!!

My angel hero is my Kukum, Edna. She is my hero because she always used to tell me to be brave and not to be afraid of what I want to go after. In the morning I would sit on her lap and she would sing songs to me in Cree. At night she would tell me some First Nation stories about the past when she was a little girl. She told me other stories about something but I am not totally sure because I can’t really remember, I was only 4 years old. Kukum passed away when I was 4 years old. I watched her pass away in the hospital.

My kukum Edna was my favorite hero in the universe and she was the best Kukum ever!!

If you wondering what kukum is in English? It is grandma but in Cree it means Kukum!!!!
