Indspire’s Post

In today’s celebration of the #powerofpartnership, we want to share some very exciting news with you! Climbing the Mountain, a workshop that shares meaningful ways to incorporate reconciliation into the classroom, is always one of the most popular aspects of our annual National Gathering for Indigenous Education. Delivered by bestselling author, professor, and journalist Dr. Niigaanwewidam Sinclair it’s sold out every year. But this November, thanks to the efforts of our partner Shell, Climbing the Mountain is available for everyone. That’s right – it’s no longer an extra add-on! If you register for a regular National Gathering ticket, you’ll automatically be able to attend the Climbing the Mountain workshop on Nov 20, 2024.

Now, more than ever, our world needs #caregivers...people like Dominique Baptiste, a third-year nursing student at Lakehead University who’s supported by our Building Brighter Futures: Bursaries & Scholarships (BBF) program. Dominique chose nursing because she wants to meaningfully support her community and Indigenous peoples. As an intergenerational residential school survivor on both sides of her family, she’s witnessed the lasting effects of residential schools and experienced many losses at a young age. Fiercely committed to a better future, Dominique ultimately wants to work in an Intensive Care Unit, serving Indigenous communities or vulnerable populations as a registered nurse or nurse practitioner. She aspires to educate those around her about First Nations health and communities while being a strong advocating, improving the quality of care that Indigenous individuals receive. By supporting caregivers like Dominique, you’re not only putting #reconciliation into #action…you’re sustaining circles of care that spread outward across Turtle Island, creating change that will last for generations to come. And that’s a powerful day’s work – not just on Sept 30th, but every day of the year. 🧡 To find out more about how you can help with this work, click on the link below. 👇 https://lnkd.in/e8rUngTq #NDTR #OrangeShirtDay #EveryChildMatters #Indigenous #IndigenousPeoples #NationalDayForTruthAndReconciliation

Sometimes, when we focus on the (VERY important) big picture, it’s all too easy to lose focus on the many smaller pieces of that picture – and how they all fit together to create something powerful. Today, we’re looking at the true impact of reconciliation in action: the stories of the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis students who are shaping the future of Turtle Island through their educational pursuits. 🧡 One of these students is Myles Olson, a proud Ojibwe and Cree member of Long Plain First Nation. Growing up off-reserve in Vancouver, he and his siblings stayed connected to their culture, firmly rooted in love, thanks to the efforts of his father (a day school survivor) and his mother (a Sixties Scoop survivor). He’s currently supported by our Building Brighter Futures: Bursaries & Scholarships (BBF) program, pursuing a bachelor’s degree in science at the University of British Columbia. His passion for science, instilled in him by his grandmother, has always been a driving force. Myles chose this path to honour his parents, who never had the opportunity to pursue post-secondary education due to the racism they encountered and the lack of support available. By entering this field, he wants to change the landscape, showing other Indigenous students that pursuing higher education is not only possible but essential – and that Indigenous students can thrive in these spaces just as much as anyone else.
