"It is that health-related work that has inspired his planned course of study at Oxford—either master of science or master of philosophy focusing on the effects of colonialism on the health of Indigenous peoples in Canada, specifically on disproportionately high rates of HIV infection in Saskatchewan.

"I’ve been able to witness first-hand the health disparities that are troubling First Nations reserves, such as the lack of information around culturally safe sexual health, education and practices for Indigenous peoples,” he says."

Indigenous Feminist Collective, Founding Member, 2014-Present

I am one of the founding members of the Indigenous Feminist Collective, an academic-activist group that seeks to center the realities of Indigenous women and queer and trans Indigenous people in Edmonton and at the University of Alberta.

I helped plan the Pronoun Awareness, Gender-Neutral Bathroom, and Asexuality Awareness campaigns, and I organized and presented at a one-day teach-in on queerness and Indigenous peoples.

(And, yes, if you download his CV, it does in fact say "the Rock Ethic's Institute.")

"My desire being that the students who shall be elected to the scholarships shall not merely be bookworms, I direct that in the election of a student to a Scholarship regard shall be had to (i) his literary and scholastic attainments (ii) his fondness of and success in manly outdoor sports such as cricket football and the like (iii) his qualities of manhood truth courage devotion to duty sympathy for the protection of the weak kindliness unselfishness and fellowship and (iv) his exhibition during school days of moral force of character and of instincts to lead to and to take an interest in his schoolmates for those latter attributes will be likely in afterlife to guide him to esteem the performance of public duties as his highest aim."
