Chevaun Toulouse

Sagamok

Chevaun Toulouse nindizhinikaaz. Sagamok Anishnawbek nindonjibaa. Ginoozhe (Pike) nindoodem. Anishinaabe kwe ndow. My name is Chevaun Toulouse; I am a mother and recent graduate of the Biology and Indigenous environmental science BSc program at Trent University.  Growing up in Sagamok gave me an interest and respect for the environment, as much of my youth was spent trying to catch turtles and snakes in the swamp. Whether snatching snakes or catching turtles, it was on the land, chasing reptiles and amphibians, that I found my happiness. I also found my career.
