When Louise Fraser shared her story, Darlene Brander said it brought tears to her eyes.
“She has an inspirational story that I think many people in the community and greater public want to hear more of,” said Brander, President of the Saskatchewan Indigenous Cultural Centre (SICC). “When she shares her story of resilience – it’s not just a one or two decade journey, it’s a journey over a lifetime.”
Elder Louise Fraser, member of Mistawasis Nêhiyawak, was one of the keynote speakers at the 2025 SICC Language Keepers Gathering in Saskatoon.
The 87-year-old is the embodiment of life-long learner. Although she possesses numerous degrees, diplomas, and certifications, retirement is not on her mind. Fraser is determined to regain everything residential schools tried to erase from her like her culture and language.
