What does “Waasaabiidaasamose” mean?
“Waasaabiidaasamose” is Anishnawbemowin for “walks far”. The name comes from St. Lawrence College’s first Knowledge Keeper, Helena Neveu (Waasaabiidaasamose Kwe) and speaks to the journey our Indigenous students, their families, and their communities have travelled on their way to post-secondary education and beyond. Our St. Lawrence College community respectfully acknowledges the injustices and disparity embodied in the story of Indigenous people in this country but celebrates the beautiful cultures, the resilience, the contributions, and the successes that are and will be a significant part of their story. We walk this journey together in the spirit of reconciliation.
