Nugwa’am Adahu/Chettie. I am Kwakwaka’wakw of the Musgamagw Dzwada’enuxw, and Nakwaxda’wx. I also have ancestral ties to England, Ireland, Scotland, and Mexico.  I am grateful to have been a guest in the traditional, unceded territory of the Péntłatch,Šałułtxʷ, Sasitla, and E’ikʷsən for over two decades. I embrace the role of learner with deep respect, recognizing my responsibility to continually seek ways to enhance my understanding striving to be a respectful and responsible guest in this beautiful territory of learning.

If you would like to connect with me or would like to learn more about the role of the Indigenous Support workers, please email me at chettie.macdonald@sd71.bc.ca or call 250-331-4040.  Gilakas’la
