The truth.. Mary Adams spoke the truth, right from her heart. Sometimes people didn't agree with her but what she said had merit.
One of the things I admired in Mary Adams was she spoke with commom sense. Often the things she said was what other people did not have the courage to say.

(Sorry but I did not put my name in my first comment. Mary would say, "Sign your name girl. Be proud to speak.")

Amazing heart felt messages. That's probably some rare footage of Labradorimut being spoken. A relic dialect.
Love and peace.

As an Inuit-Metis I have great respect for the Inuit ways and customs. I have had the pleasure to speak with Mrs. Adams on those very topics and held the lady in high regard. We must be proud of where we come from and keep our traditional ways alive; its the greatest way we can pay respect to our elders who have gone before us.
Nakkumek Mary!!
Thats me Mudder.
She has given the courage and the mouth to tell those in charge of being responsible over all Eskimo's to help those who are to weak to speak up for themselves.
It has gotten me into trouble and have been fired from 1-2 jobs but I knew I was in the Right.
Peace Mudder
Love

Mary always spoke from the heart and told the truth. The legacy of injustice to Inuit was something that she always spoke of with such eloquence and she will be missed for her efforts to bring light to her experiences as an Inuk in Labrador. Personally, she has touched my life since I was a small child and I feel a great loss in knowing that she gone...but also, from her, I have gained a strength that only Mary, with her sincerity and her will to right the wrongs to Inuit, could have given me. Rest in Peace my precious friend.
