As as her dance company celebrates 15 years in existence – she was recently named the first Indigenous woman Chancellor of McMaster University.

We talked to Santee about how dance and creativity grounds us in a world out of balance – and offers powerful pathways to heal our communities and mitigate the trauma of racism and residential schools.
