About
“It was a last-minute decision, at least about the red handprint,” says Bear, whose dad is from Whitecap and mother is from Cote First Nation. She’s a single mother of two girls, seven and eight years old, who graduated from law school at the University of Saskatchewan in 2020. Bear originally started at the law school at the University of British Columbia. “It was my dream to go there, and even though I am a single mother, I didn’t want to give up my dream.” Bear and her children ended up moving back to Saskatoon and enrolling in the law program at the University of Saskatchewan three weeks after classes started. “Luckily, I was allowed to do that.” While her parents, siblings and other relatives are also busy people, she says, it was still helpful to have them close by.
