March 29/23 - Voices of Youth Indigenous Leaders 2023
Indigenous youth have powerful voices — and senators want to hear them!
June is National Indigenous History Month, a time to particularly honour the history, heritage and diversity of Indigenous peoples in Canada. The Senate Committee on Indigenous Peoples is excited to launch Voices of Youth Indigenous Leaders 2023 to spotlight the strengths of present-day First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities and their inspirational young leaders.
The theme of this year’s event is Indigenous education. The committee wants to hear how Indigenous youth have experienced education in all forms, including public and private, traditional and non-traditional Indigenous education and/or post-secondary. Are you a young Indigenous leader who has broken glass ceilings within the education system? Do you have a vision for how education fosters leadership in First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities? Have you faced barriers while pursuing university degrees or completing high school diplomas? The committee wants to hear from you!
Applicants to Voices of Youth Indigenous Leaders 2023 are invited to submit a short text (500 words), formally known as a “brief,” that will inform the committee’s work. Some participants will also be invited to attend an official committee meeting in June 2023 to highlight their leadership efforts.
Indigenous youth leaders, aged 18 to 35, are invited to share their experiences, stories and visions.
Send your submission by end of day, Sunday, April 9, 2023, and you could be invited to meet committee members in Ottawa!

We are pleased to announce that Monday (Mar 27th) was the final session for our very first vest making class and based on the photos, participants enjoyed themselves!
Miawpukek First Nation realizes that our traditional skills and practices are critical and relevant for the survival of our culture and our people. We believe that utilizing the knowledge of our savvy elders is perhaps our last chance to acquire the skills and expertise required to maintain a deep connection to our culture and who we are.
Thanks to Elders Mardina Joe and Laura John and craft worker Ann-Marie Jeddore for transferring your skills and for making learning something new, enjoyable.
All of us are blessed with knowledge that has been passed down to us by our ancestors. To bridge the generation gap we need to learn how to adapt to the new while retaining a connection to our past.
We look forward to future workshops!
Wela'lioq!
