“Tansi kiyawow,
 
Thank you so much for registering for our first EVER online “Walking Like Warriors: Self-Defence” and “Unceded & Undefeated” webinar sessions with the UBC Learning Circle! This was such a positive experience, and I’m grateful we got the opportunity to show you all some practical techniques for preventing, managing, and avoiding conflict. It was thrilling to see people joining in from so many locations, and learning how to ‘walk like a warrior’ with us!
