At the centre: A conversation with Nêhiyaw educator Amanda Moosemay
In May 2019, Samantha (Sam) Martin-Bird travelled to Saskatchewan to spend a few days visiting friends and to attend a fantastic Indigenous library conference. One of her former classmates, Amanda Moosemay, is now a Grade 4 teacher at George Gordon’s First Nation, a community just over 100 kilometres north of Regina. Sam toured Amanda’s classroom and then sat down with her to chat about treaty education, community hub libraries in Regina, and the school library.
