This week in the ICU I have resuscitated a mother of two, a management consultant, an honour role student and a homeless man. The first three were victims of a poisoned opiate supply, the last had pneumonia. Alberta has a serious problem, and a government that has demonized it.

Reminder: Enrollment is still open for this class that starts in a month. Dr. @MsYoungbull and I are teaching this summer graduate class at OU, “Cultivating Indigenous Research Methods in Educational Contexts”. It will be fun to teach a research class again. ❤️🤍❤️🤍

Some pre-final motivation: Indigenous students are the epitome of resilience. They are often faced with historical trauma, current trauma and still persist and find strength to attend college. We see you, in your struggles and your successes. You are making your ancestors proud!
