She carries the teachings of love, kindness and understanding that have been passed to her from knowledge keepers within the Indigenous community.

Julia’s family is from the Metis community of Camperville located on Treaty 4 territory.  She is a second-generation residential day school survivor and grew up both on Treaty 1 territory and Swampy Cree territory on Treaty 5.
