Hello! Tansi!

My name is Elizabeth Head. I’m fortunate to have an amazing and supportive family – my husband and two children. Last semester was hectic, and expecting a similar schedule this fall. Despite the demands, my husband has been incredibly supportive, taking care of the kids. I’m doing this for them and myself; they’re my inspiration!

 

I’ve come from Shoal Lake Cree Nation; the Cree term is pâhkwâw-sâkahikanihk (Shoal Lake). I’ve spent most of my life here, but moving to Regina was a significant change. It felt isolating being away from family, and I only get to see my parents every few months. However, I’ve adapted to the change and focus on my studies.

Our family bonding moments are best spent at barbecues, where the kids can play and enjoy themselves.

During spring and fall, I love engaging in the traditional teachings of preparing ducks. Plucking and singeing the birds while having conversations is a cherished part of this experience. I know it may seem odd but we enjoy this activity and it brings a delicious meal.
