Tansi. I am honored to be a guest on the traditional territories of the Wei-Wai-Kai and
Wei-Wai-Kum First Nations. As a Metis grandmother and an Indigenous instructor at
North Island College, I am fortunate to interweave Indigenous approaches with academic
writing, research and critical thinking. I strive to create a classroom community
that respects diverse learning styles and remains always a safe space to make mistakes
as we investigate and write about contemporary Indigenous issues. I look forward to
inspiring you to explore and discover while preparing you with the critical thinking,
research, and writing skills required for post-secondary study and the world beyond.
