"As I learn more about Mi’kmaw language or I sit in community spaces, it informs how I read the Bible and how I live as a follower of Jesus," said Crystal, who graduated from NAIITS: An Indigenous Learning Community in 2020.
“NAIITS, for me, isn't just an education. It's community. It's family. It's embraced my entire life and has been transformational, even in my calling as a minister,” Shari said.
This Indigenous Veterans Day, NAIITS: An Indigenous Learning Community honors those members of the Learning Community who have served, including NAIITS faculty member and Indigenous Pathways board member Leonard “Casey” Church.
