Southend school principal has political ambitions
Since 1911, Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation has only had one female chief, but Karen Bird from Southend is hoping to change that.
She is one of three candidates for chief in the upcoming band election.
According to Bird, it’s a job she has dreamed about for many years.
“I [knew] that I wanted to one day but I needed experience. I’m still a young woman so I can do it now,” she said.
