Scenario

When parents disagree about Indigenous coming-of-age ceremonies for their child

My daughter is approaching the age for her coming-of-age ceremony and my partner wants to follow the traditional path from their nation while I feel disconnected from my own traditions after generations of cultural disruption. We're both trying to honor what matters but we keep talking past each other about what that even means.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are trying to navigate cultural authenticity and healing while creating meaningful ritual for the next generation, but their different relationships to tradition are creating distance instead of shared purpose.
