Honouring Gloria Nahanee and the Nahanee Family

· Reflection

Gloria Nahanee is one of the great Indigenous women of our generation. From the 1970s until today, Sister Gloria, her beloved husband Keith, and family have been at the heart of the rebirth of the Smoke House, Sweat Lodge, Pow Wow, Healing, and Indigenous Arts! They, all, have also have given dedicated and devoted self-service to the Squamish Nation and beyond

Our hands up to Sister Gloria, Brother Keith, and the Nahanee Family!
