Castanet reports that Thompson Rivers University Chancellor DeDe DeRose has re-initiated a nationwide Indigenous university chancellors working group. The group —co-chaired by DeRose and University of the Fraser Valley Chancellor Jo-Anne Archibald—is primarily focused on addressing the challenges faced by Indigenous learners and celebrating their successes. Other topics of interest include residential school denialism and Indigenous identity fraud. “The reason I reached out to my colleagues is because I felt like TRU was the ground zero for the denialist group because Kamloops was the first site where there was images documented and the first site that it seemed like the denialists were going to target,” said DeRose.
