Kira studies Social Sciences and Criminology at the University of Toronto and is an intergenerational survivor whose studies surround identifying the systemic flaws in the Canadian Justice System. Her education and background are what has made Kira become passionate about finding solutions to help end the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women crisis.
While also pursuing her studies at U of T, Kira also set the goal of taking Anishinaabemowin language courses so she can directly contribute to the revitalization of her traditional language. Support provided by the FG Foundation helped Kira be able to pursue her language goals and keep the financial stresses behind her so she could focus on all her courses throughout the semesters.
For Kira, being able to study Criminology and Anishinaabemowin means having the opportunity to ignite change and reach her goal of ending the cycle of violence against Indigenous women and respectfully continuing their legacy.
