My Voice

“I envision Indigenous students being successful, taking on the roles that have been taken away. That’s what I envision to get our autonomy, to be self-determined people and to be able to do what’s best for us, and not what other people tell us is best for us.”

There’s so much intellectual depth in our stories and we’re not really taught that, but they are our birthright. We have a birthright to a very strong, beautiful, deep, intellectual life.
