A huge thank you to Dr. Dawn Lavell-Harvard, Director of First Peoples House of Learning, Trent University, for her mesmerizing and engaging stories and insights, to Maryam Monsef for her thoughtful questions and her impeccable time-management skills, and to Lynn Zimmer, for graciously providing more time for Dawn's story to be heard.
