"I remember sitting in my inaugural meeting as the first Indigenous woman president of the University of Winnipeg Students’ Association (UWSA) almost a year ago, listening to discussions on Indigenization – a term that has never sat well with me. As an Indigenous woman, I study and work every day at a university that brands itself as a leader of Indigenization while continuing to profit off Indigenous lands."

Sadie-Phoenix Lavoie from Divest UWinnipeg speaks to Teen Vogue (!!!) about the responsibility of universities to divest from fossil fuels: "Infrastructure that’s gold LED standard is greenwashing when it’s funded by oil companies. Divestment is a way to uphold reconciliation."

“We take on a radical stance."
