As a member of the Stó:lō Nation, author and scholar Lee Maracle dedicated a considerable fragment of her life to being a representative of U of T’s Indigenous communities. Maracle was an instructor at U of T’s Centre for Indigenous Studies and Transitional Year Programme. She was also a former traditional teacher-in-residence at Indigenous Student Services, a department that offers culturally relevant services to Indigenous students. These roles allowed Maracle to offer students support and guidance, which encouraged their academic success and personal development. The impact of Maracle’s writings and teachings has not been lost since her death on November 11, 2021.
