  • Tara Houska is an incredible speaker and activist. She speaks with authenticity and empathy, and was able to teach us more about Indigenous culture, current legislation and the impacts on Indigenous folks. She left the audience enlightened and ready to take tangible action to support Indigenous communities. I would absolutely book her again for another event!
