“I think the most important work to begin doing is to build relationships with my coworkers, with the community, with families,” she said.

Hingley is a graduate of the Saskatchewan Urban Native Teacher Education Program which provides a strong emphasis on Métis history, Michif, and social justice. The goal of the program is to ensure those with Métis ancestry are represented in the teaching profession.

“I really believe that in Sask. Rivers School Division there’s a great opportunity to really become the leaders in the province around how to close the gap for First Nations and Métis students,” she said.
