Aaniin EDCI 337!

My name is Nakoda. Iโ€™m Laotian on my maternal side and Anishinaabe on my paternal. I trace my roots to the Sandy Bay Ojibway First Nation on Treaty One territory in Manitoba. Iโ€™m currently in my third year of Indigenous Studies, specifically with a focus on Indigenous governance and community development. Iโ€™m planning on going into Indigenous Law after undergrad. 

In my spare time, I love to drive around Victoria and try new cafes/restaurants with friends. Equally, I love staying in and watching movies/reading, as well as making native beadwork, specifically earrings (which is ironic considering Iโ€™ve never had my ears pierced before). I also love to workout at the gym while repeatedly playing whatever song Iโ€™m obsessed with at the moment.

I look forward to getting to know all of you this semester!
