Tan'si,
I thank the Creator for this life and all its blessings. My given name is Keesha Wahsatnow. I am a proud member of Saddle Lake Cree Nation. My education journey began when I stepped into the doors of my first school. I enjoyed learning, reading and writing. Many of my teachers made me feel special and honoured the gifts I brought to the class.
Tyra Delver brings bannock to the big screen
Students like design student Tyra Delver do great things, including being selected to partner with the National Film Board to create "pâkwêsikan sâkihtin: Bannock Is Love," which will premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in September.
Tyra Delver grew up on Saddle Lake First Nation watching her mom make bannock. Back then, she was merely an observer, sharing space while her mom did the work. It wasn’t until years later, when she found herself adding water to a bannock-making kit, that she realized how important the simple food is to so many people’s lives.

Master of Community & Regional Planning
University of British Columbia
As a proud and grateful graduate of Saddle Lake, I am humbled to have reached this significant milestone. However, I want to emphasize that my achievements are not mine alone. I dedicate this degree to the people who have supported me throughout my journey—my friends, family, community, and, most importantly, my mother in the spirit world. Each of them has played a critical role in my success, and I am forever grateful for their unwavering support and encouragement.
