Sarah Robinson passed away from colon cancer this week. She was 36.
Five years ago, Robinson, a citizen of the Fort Nelson First Nation and the Salteau First Nation in Treaty 8 territory, gave a short Walrus talk on "Indigenous Women and the Story of Canada". It is worth listening to.
I never had a chance to meet Robinson, but by all accounts she was a remarkable person who possessed a wealth of Indigenous and Eurowestern knowledge which she shared as advice and as stories through her work with governments and communities large and small.
"Too young to burn. Too young, too young."
