Calling on Indigenous Students to Speak Out: What Educators Fail to Realize
by Kemi Omorogbe, Mackenzie Gellner and Ryleigh Kampman

This is angering some student who feel as they are being generalized because of their culture.
“The professors had no clue, no clue, and some of them were honest and said they never had this experience in my career, so I can’t provide you any feedback. And others just blew me off, they basically didn’t care.” - Buffalo Kiss
