Hana’ackm Ggoadm ‘Tsoal / Naomi Leask (she/her) is honored to be guest on the unceded territory of the Áakʼw Ḵwáan. She is Ts’msyen and was born and raised in Su Maxłaxaała where she was a cultural educator for 20+years. Naomi’s teaching methods are a reflection of her grandmother and mother’s teachings that have passed down through the generations—land and strength based. Naomi also has a background in museum work but she is most proud of creating public harvesting classes and the ‘Nüüm Na Waalt culture camp as a way to meet the Duncan Cottage Museum’s mission, values, and goals. Naomi is looking forward to creating connections and partnerships that nourish the matriarchy and promote multi-generational healing.
