University of Winnipeg appoints as interim vice president Dr Chantal Fiola, who is Two Spirit. Is it too much to hope that this appointment might be intended to address the university's transphobia problem during their tenure?
Almost certainly too much to hope, and yet I still do.
#Indigenous #graduates at the #UniversityOfWinnipeg held their first #celebratory #powwow in four years at the #DuckworthCentre on Saturday.
Families & friends of the graduates, representing a range of Indigenous cultures & communities, packed the #Duckworth Centre with a mix of traditional clothing & dancing on display.
