I live in Hamilton, Ontario and in September I got a new Hamilton-focussed magazine in my mailbox. In the first issue of this new magazine, there is an article about three extremely impressive Indigenous leaders in my city:

I found Savage Bear especially interesting person. She’s a member of the Montreal Lake Cree Nation in Saskatchewan but has moved to Hamilton and regarding place, she says
“This isn’t our territory. As much as [I’m] in a leadership position, it doesn’t matter who you are, you need to know where you tread,” says Bear. “You need to know the land and the people of the land. This past year has been getting to know my colleagues, the students, and external and internal stakeholders here and in and around Hamilton.”
