My Heartfelt Acknowledgements:
To my loving Alex, my sweetheart: you have been my soft landing, my courage, and my steady heart. Your faith in me brought me here, to this moment, and I am endlessly grateful. You are my everything, and every step of my study’s journey was taken with you devotedly beside me.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to my parents, my sister, and my best friend. Your relentless support and love have been my anchor, and your compassion flows through this work, filling it with care and depth.
To my community, Moose Cree First Nation—the People, Land, and Waters: thank you for keeping me grounded. And of course, I acknowledge, with so much love, all my previous students. You are in every word, every essence of my work.
To those who resisted the birth of this study: I acknowledge you too. I hope that one day, you open yourself to the kind of love that extends beyond walls of bigotry. Despite your resistance, here my work stands—alive, breathing, and complete.
Lastly, to the moss—the inspiration and quiet teacher of my study’s journey. I will keep learning from you, and letting your quiet resilience guide me. This work, like you, stretches forward, rooting, nurturing, and reaching toward light.
