Elder Allen Edzerza, Tahltan Nation – a lead negotiator for the B.C. First Nation Energy and Mining Council in discussions with the government of British Columbia on mining reform.

Joely Viveiros, UBC First Nations House of Learning – Associate Director of FNHL which provides programming, advice, and support systems for UBC indigenous students, faculty, staff and alumni.
