About Me

I’m a high school student in Ontario, Canada, passionate about Indigenous education and reconciliation. My interest grew after completing the Grade 11 English course Understanding Contemporary First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Voices, where I learned about the rich histories, cultures, and ongoing challenges of Indigenous Peoples. This journey inspired me to deepen my knowledge and share what I’ve learned with others. I believe reconciliation is a collective responsibility, and through education and honest dialogue, we can build respectful and lasting relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities.
