Aniin, Miikawaadizi n'dizhnikaaz, Ma'iingan ndoodem, miinwaa Bkejwanong ndoonjiba I am Connor Isaac, part of Wolf Clan from Walpole Island First Nation. As an indigenous person in engineering I have a unique position that is not filled by many people. I have both connections to my heritage, through teachings and the desire to learn more about my culture, but also to academia and STEM. I wish to help with truth and reconciliation through help educating both indigenous peoples about what opportunities are out there and help lead to a better life, but also non indigenous people learn more about issues modern indigenous people face and how we can all work together to achieve mno biimaziwin (the good life).
