Paul Willie Paul was called home in the final weeks of our project. He shared that he was registered as a First Nation person of the Musgamagw Dzawada’enuxw from Kingcome. He also told us that this way of introducing himself is a result of the Indian Agent. Who he is and where he comes from is much more than that. He has held many traditional names as a leader within his community and beyond. His unique combination of talent, knowledge, skills, and experiences, along with his ability to bridge worlds, has been essential to the Learning Our Way Project since the first Field School in 2007. His legacy is carried on by all of us fortunate enough to have spent time with him and to have learned from him. His passing is a shock to us all. We continue to uphold his legacy to honor him and the work.
