My name is Raven King Stierle (she/her/wiya)\, I am a REM and Political Science student and board member of the First Nations\, Métis and Inuit Student Association (FNMISA). My family is Cree and Métis from Peepeekisis Cree Nation in Treaty 4 territory. \nMy own chosen home now is just outside of Whitehorse\, Yukon with my partner and two dogs (Skookum and Timber) but I was born and raised in Surrey\, BC; the traditional territory and gathering place of the Katzie\, Kwantlen\, Tsleil Waututh\, Musqueam\, and other Coast Salish nations. \nGrowing up an urban Native I was taught to respect and honour the host Nations\, and to not forget who I was and who my family and community are. Food is medicine. It’s the most important part of any gathering\, it feeds your spirit and grounds you. I’m excited to share some of my family’s culture with you all.
