talking stick. now, members of the community are trying to bridge that divide, getting into the culture, learning the language, learning of song, and the love of the community will replace that anger. that's inside them. even after a long road of struggle, there is hope and for some a feeling that it's never too late to heal. took a 199 years to learn what can't be ruled by hatred in the enemy of our peace, a reclaiming of culture and faith. they say is the path to recovery. jody vance. al jazeera, vancouver. while cuba is economy has declined by 13 percent since the start of this pandemic. despite that economic minister, 100 jayla says the islands, financial system will prevail, but it still faces crushing us sanctions, which made it harder to acquire the medical equipment to fight curve at 19
