A chapter on the impact and activism of Elder Pauline Shirt (Nimkiiquay), a Plains Cree Elder originally from Saddle Lake, Alberta, Red-Tail Hawk Clan, and member of the Three Fires Society (Midewiwin) and Buffalo Dance Society. Informed by her own Plains Cree culture, Pauline has dedicated her life to providing people with ceremony and guidance, and to cultivating spaces in Toronto that offer an Indigenous approach to education.
