Our Voices – FPPSE
“ What I want to see is change, that people realize that we are intelligent and we have so many strengths and not to see us as being less than, or inferior, or in need of having to reformulate our words, because they’re strong. And people, elders and hunters and community members, they should be given a high status for what they know. So that’s what I feel for postsecondary and what I want to see. Maybe it’s not about recreating something that’s already inherently trying to break us down, but creating new things with the abilities that we already have. “

My Voice – FPPSE
“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.”
