From Muskeg Lake Cree Nation located in Treaty Six Territory, SK, is a Mother, High School Teacher and Founder of the grassroots movement "Save Rez Dogs”. Since August 2019, Save Rez Dogs has been one of the top Indigenous female-led, volunteer-run organizations focused on advocacy and improving animal welfare in First Nations communities. “In our work, we use anti-oppressive education and animal rights resources, with a mix of rez humour to spread our message and build community engagement. We started as a hub for local community members, then it grew provincially, and now has spread out on a national level. We raise money through our merch line to fund consented frontline work to help rescue missions such as spay and neuters, dog houses, and other emergency needs.”
