Hi friends! My name is Katrina (yes, like the hurricane), welcome to my blog! My mantra these days is “I live so I love,” meaning that I firmly believe that every person and entity is worthy of being loved. Although love is an abstract concept, a characteristic of love would have to be the ability to be viewed and celebrated as an equal by those around an individual. This is why\u00a0this<\/a>\u00a0intrigued me; the battle for women’s rights has always been an ongoing issue, with it being an alarmingly large issue in the Indigenous community. Although I am not particularly familiar with the history of women’s rights within this sphere, I am very eager to learn, and am hoping that such topics are discussed within the scope of this course.<\/p>\n

Continuing on, I was born on Canadian soil, yet I don’t feel very connected with the country’s roots. There is so much history, and whether good or bad, I want to be able to find a sense of empathy, or even identity within the roots of the curriculum. I believe that this course goes beyond just being an orthodox English class; Indigenous culture has roots in oral storytelling, and seeing this course being taught online amazes me as it is as if all types of mediums have come together. Speaking of,\u00a0this<\/a>\u00a0is a fascinating project that I thought was relevant to the course!<\/p>\n

I look forward to interacting with all of you!<\/p>\n
