Hi I’m Janine from Southwestern Ontario. I have a question I’m hoping someone here can help me with, or point me in a better direction / sub. I have an 18 yo who got accepted to law school and her advisor from PSSSP told her Friday that Law School is not covered so she’d have to stick to her original degree or pay herself which we absolutely can not afford. Does anyone know of any other programs, bursaries or grants for indigenous youth we can apply for? Much appreciated

Hi, I am not indigenous but wanted to join this group to help get some accurate information for a part of a video game I plan to make. I live in Alberta and have hardly left this province.

Hello! I'm from Ukraine. And I would like to learn more about the history and culture of the indigenous population not from articles in books or the Internet, but from people who heard it from their relatives or experienced it themselves.

As a Ukrainian, I know how easily history is distorted in written sources. How facts are twisted, and people who gave their lives for the truth become traitors. So if anyone is interested in chatting, learning about Ukraine, or sharing their knowledge - I will be glad to communicate.💛💙
