The school is honoured to have among its faculty, a member of Forbes Magazine’s 50 Over 50 Impact List for 2021. In concert with the Mika Brzezinski’s “Know Your Value” project, over 12,000 individuals were nominated. Margaret Moss, Associate Professor, was “thrilled and honoured,” to be included in the final list, along with other highly influential women who, according to the article, “are changing their communities and the world in ways big and small through social entrepreneurship, law, advocacy and education.”
Dr. Moss noted, “In large part some of the items in my profile were my nursing text on American Indian Health, being a Fulbright alumna, and my dual doctorates.” A member of the Three Affiliated Tribes of North Dakota, Dr. Moss holds doctorates in both nursing and law, and is the Director of UBC’s First Nations House of Learning, and author of American Indian Health and Nursing.

On June 21, 2021, we came together as a nursing community, holding our hands high, to honour Elder & Dr. Roberta Price and to celebrate her being conferred an Honorary Doctor of Laws at UBC.
Doctor Roberta Price is a Coast Salish Matriarch and Elder of the Snuneymuxw and Cowichan Nations who has been sharing her knowledge and experiences in classrooms, healthcare settings, and communities for more than 35 years. Elder Roberta’s relationship with the School of Nursing spans over 15 years as a researcher, teacher, and colleague. In 2018, she became the lead Elder for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing course on “Promoting Indigenous Peoples’ Health”. Soon after, she was appointed as the Lead Elder for the Indigenous Advisory Circle to the School of Nursing.
The honouring event took place at the First Nations House of Learning on the Point Grey Campus, unceded territory of the Musqueam peoples. It was simultaneously shared on the Zoom virtual meeting platform and recordings of the UBC presentation and the Nursing celebration are available at the links below.
Dr. and Elder Roberta Price continues to impact the health and wellbeing of many, and we couldn’t be more pleased to have been able to celebrate this well deserved honour in this way.
