“I’ve received something incredibly meaningful to me— an Honorary Degree from this incredible University that I’m in love with,” Cuba told the crowd in between songs, reflecting on his ongoing relationship with UNBC. “I am proud of this University, very proud, and I wish you all nothing but the best.”

The concert, hosted by the Office of the President, reflected the spirit of connection and curiosity that defines the UNBC community, creating a shared moment of reflection that will resonate long after the music has faded.

On National Indigenous Veterans Day, UNBC joins in honouring the remarkable contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Veterans who have courageously served Canada in conflicts from the World Wars, through to Afghanistan and peacekeeping missions.

A commemorative gathering for students, faculty and staff will be held in the Doug Little Lounge from 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m., featuring information displays and a space to share written thoughts and tributes.

Indigenous Peoples served at higher rates per capita than many other groups in Canada and distinguished themselves – as snipers and scouts in the First World War and Cree-speaking code talkers were instrumental in disrupting enemy communications in WWII.

Despite their skill and acts of bravery, Indigenous Veterans faced racism, discrimination, unequal recognition and compensation. Many veterans returned home to find they’d lost their Indian status* during extended service, while others were required to surrender it to access veterans’ benefit.

As we walk the path of Truth and Reconciliation, Indigenous Veterans Day is one step in acknowledging these historical wrongs, honouring the invaluable contributions of Indigenous Peoples’ participation in military service and paying tribute to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

When a woman or girl experiences online gender-based violence, UNBC researcher Dr. Luna K C says all too often, the proposed solution is to have them delete their social media accounts or limit their online presence.

“However, this approach risks depriving increasing numbers of women and girls of their digital rights,” says the UNBC Faculty of Indigenous Studies, Social Sciences & Humanities Assistant Professor.

“Understanding cyberspace through a gendered and intersectional lens is crucial. The gendered nature of the online realm means the underlying harms are also gendered, disproportionately affecting racialized women and girls.”

The recipient of a $50,000 Mobilizing Insights in Defence and Security (MINDS) Grant from the Department of National Defence (DND), Dr. K C has embarked on an innovative research project to develop a Women’s Cyber Self-Defense Toolkit.

As part of the project, she will bring together students, faculty, women cyber experts and representatives from women's organizations to collaborate on the toolkit during a hybrid workshop hosted at UNBC's Prince George campus in November.
