CPSA has the honour of working with Elder Doreen Spence. She has helped bring much-needed change to Canada through her work as both a nurse (one of the first Indigenous licensed nurses in Canada) and an Indigenous rights activist, and we can’t think of a more deserving person.
MRU bestows honorary doctorate upon Elder and human rights activist Grandmother Doreen Spence, something she didn't think possible having grown up under Canada’s Indian Act of 1876 that stated Indigenous children shouldn’t receive education beyond Grade 3.
