Double Graduation: A Family’s Educational Triumph

Double graduation glory for the Ross family: Steven Ross earns his kinesiology teaching degree from the University of Saskatchewan’s Indigenous Teachers Education Program, while his mother, Charlotte Ross, completes her PhD in Indigenous language revitalization from the University of Victoria. Charlotte’s groundbreaking research centers on adult Cree silent speakers—those who understand but can’t speak Cree due to trauma—and she’s building a Cree language app to empower revitalization. As the first in her family to attend university and a survivor of the Sixties Scoop, Charlotte’s journey is a beacon of resilience. Steven, now job-hunting as a teacher, champions land-based Indigenous education. Their message? Chase your education, work hard, and never shy away from asking for help.
