Replying to @SD63Stellys
@SD63Stellys in collaboration with the W̱SÁNEĆ leadership school walked together down Stellys rd to a gathering of student leaders who shared speeches and songs.Seeing that sea of orange shirts walking down Stellys and hearing those students speak was the medicine I needed.

Thinking about the relationship between the new BC Indigenous-focussed graduation requirement & the assumption that some folks continue to have about Indigenous-focussed courses being "less than" or not as important as other grad course requirements. luudisk.com/2022/02/12/epist…
