Celebrating — Mitchell Huguenin

Mitch Huguenin is the Indigenous Pedagogy Designer at the Centre for Teaching and Learning at Trent University.

Where are you from?

Penetanguishene

As a Métis person how do you walk in a way that honours your responsibilities to our nation, other Indigenous communities, the land and waters?

I honour my ancestors by teaching about how they contributed in shaping both me and this country.

What medicines do you carry that have helped you on your path?

My family instilled in me important values that help me navigate life in a good and balanced way. I’ve been gifted with a loud and confident voice, which helps me share our histories with others.

We Métis, are more than the sum of our parts.
