Hi, I am Alexis/Lexi! I am in the third year of my undergraduate degree, obtaining a joint major in Criminology and Psychology. I also have a certificate in General Criminology and going for a Social Justice certificate as well! I am Métis, and my family and ancestors are from Winnipeg, but I am registered under the Métis Nation of British Columbia. I love to volunteer and am a member of the Criminology Student Association, International Wrongful Convictions Day, and the Wrongful Convictions Collective. One hobby I have is reading! I am a big fantasy nerd. My favourite series include the Six of Crows Duology, The Devouring Grey Duology and of course, the classic Percy Jackson series. Over the summer, I also have taken up the hobby of archery. I use my grandpa’s set, and I am not very good (as seen in the video), but it makes me feel closer to my grandpa when I use it (and makes me feel like the protagonist in one of my books) I was not aware that I was Métis until around 2015. My father was adopted and never knew his family. Still, in 2015 he found his family, where he discovered he had 7 siblings! It was crazy suddenly discovering a whole culture and side of your family you never even knew about. However, because both my father and I grew up in a non-Indigenous family and community, I found myself questioning and wondering a lot about my heritage and my culture. Thus, my topic for Indigenous Wellness is about finding your culture! How do you connect with your culture?
