“My goal has always been to support the reformation of child and family services so that First Nation children are protected, taken care of by their own families and have the freedom to live up to their full potential,” says Teegee. “When children are grounded in their identity and culture, they have the foundation they need to thrive.”

Teegee has played a significant role in the Highway of Tears initiative, working in collaboration with Indigenous partners, community organizations and researchers at UNBC to support efforts to address violence against Indigenous women and girls and promote safety, awareness and healing along northern B.C.’s Highway 16 corridor.
