In honour of graduation season and National Indigenous History Month, we shine a spotlight on Pathways Saskatoon’s Program Manager: Darlene Lanceley, a Cree woman and band member of the Mistawasis Nehiyawak First Nation, a lifelong educator, student advocate, and activist in Indigenous rights and education.

After supporting four cohorts of graduates at Pathways Saskatoon, Darlene will be retiring this month after their graduation ceremony. Her hope for today and tomorrow’s students is clear: “I want them to continually thrive. To say, ‘I deserve better’. To use their voice, because voice has got I-C-E in it—Identity, Choice, and Empowerment.”

Keep reading to hear from Darlene about her journey of helping to shift the educational landscape for Indigenous people and her hopes for future generations of students.
