Through our #150Acts project Dr. Crystal Gail Fraser and I established the Gwiizii ts'àt gwitàatsàh award to support Indigenous students at University of Alberta. We've updated our website to celebrate the first two recipients: 150acts.weebly.com/gwiizii-tsagra…

If you're an Indigenous student at the U of A please apply for next year! If you are not, consider purchasing a set of our 150 Acts of Reconciliation posters so we can continue to offer this award. 150acts.weebly.com/shop.html
