In Week One we discussed how individuals identify and how to have open and honest discussions about the complexity of identity. For this winter count symbol, I drew a person pointing to themselves to represent this discussion about identity. While reading Chelsea Vowel’s articles “Just Don’t Call Us Late for Supper: Names for Indigenous Peoples” and “Settling on a Name”, I began to think critically about my identity. I came to the conclusion that I identify as a Canadian that is a descendant of white settlers.
