Terry Lin Fedorus
Indigenous Educator and Advisor
Indigenous Educator and Advisor Terry Lin Fedorus is with the passion to advance Truth and Reconciliation both across Turtle Island and in her home province of Alberta! As co-founder of the "Sacred Circle Foundation for Reconciliation", an Indigenous-led initiative headquartered in Fort McMurray, her work with Climate Solutions Education and EcoSchools centres around bringing together Western and Indigenous ways of knowing and being. As a First Nations citizen, Terry Lin is of Dene (Dane-zaa) and Ukrainian background with unique abilities to navigate Indigenous and non-Indigenous worlds simultaneously. She's excited to share knowledge and experience in the blending and braiding of different ways of knowing and being, with direct links to 'two-eyed seeing', a conceptual framework originally coined and described by Mi'kmaw Elder, Albert Marshall. Terry Lin also brings with her an extensive background in climate science, with formal education in Environmental Science and Biology, and Reconciliation Education. All sessions Terry Lin is involved in are part of the K-12 cross-curricular Symposium "Our Shared Future: Engaging Students in Reconciliation and Climate Solutions Through EcoSchools".
