Overwhelmed by the support!

I wanted to find a way to thank everyone who has been so supportive of my pursuit of a law degree, so I thought some of you might find it interesting to know what I have been learning so far.

My particular thank you goes to those who continue to be so supportive at the Tk'emlups te Secwepemc.  For those who don't know me that well, I am KIB member, my dad is Brian Camille and my mom is Debi Stewart.  I don't think they ever expected their kid to go to school for this long.

Anyway, about Saskatoon. 

The program that I am in is named the Program of Legal Studies for Native People and our focus is property law which includes Aboriginal property, real property and personal property.  From time to time we also look at some customary law.

I have been accepted to both the University of Victoria and Thompson Rivers University Faculties of Law, but my acceptance to TRU was conditional on me completing this program.  And so be it.  It is lovely here and the curriculum is quite facinating to me.

Sharon Venne and Wendy Whitecloud are both indigenous lawyers who have worked on some of the larger human rights cases in Canada.  They are tough, but nobody promised this would be easy.

I thought some of you would be interested in knowing about some of the issues that are working on so that is what I intend to post unless I hear otherwise.

So thank you again for the 50/50's, it is very much appreciated and I promise that I am working hard.
