Growing up, Cheyenne walked between the two worlds of her cultural identities of being Indigenous and of settler ancestry. She’s fought to learn, maintain, and share her Indigenous traditions. The impacts of colonization and residential school on Cheyenne and her family have shaped her approach to life and therapy to come from a de-colonizing, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed approach. She strives to provide safe spaces for marginalized and underrepresented populations. Cheyenne is filled with gratitude to receive the Joan Campbell bursary and looks forward to spreading kindness and giving back to her community just as Joan once did.
