Reconciliation and Indigenization: Remembering Dr. Ruby Peter
Cowichan Tribes Elder and Simon Fraser University Elder in the Indigenous Languages Program Dr. Ruby Peter (Sti’tum’atul’wut in Coast Salish) passed away earlier this year but the Hul’q’umi’num’ language she worked tirelessly to revitalize will live on for generations. A fluent speaker of Hul'q'umi'num' from birth, Peter was a respected knowledge holder and accomplished linguistic researcher. Read more about Ruby Peter's impact at SFU.
