As a woman and representative of Evenkia I firmly believe that our ancestors give us strength, a strength that I value and want to pass on to future generations. [...] As an Evenki woman I want to be strong in our times, to talk about my wonderful people, about their achievements and about our common national heritage that is growing even stronger today. A lot of interesting, talented young women are emerging who are doing incredible work to preserve Evenki culture and share it in Russia and beyond." — Galina Veretnova
