Shining Student

John Little Bear, Piitaa’aohkamii (Eagle Speaker), chose ULethbridge because of the Aboriginal Health program and how close his home is to campus, located on traditional Blackfoot Confederacy territory.

In his program, which blends Indigenous Ways of Knowing with Western health concepts, he’s learned ways to support his community through a connection to his culture.

“The knowledge I gained at ULethbridge is vital to overcome the challenges facing Indigenous health. One of the unique benefits I most appreciate about the Aboriginal Health program is the inclusion of our Traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders. To listen to them in a classroom setting helped me as a person and as a future health advocate.”
