Continuing the Conversation: Questions & Stories with Chris (Syeta'xtn) Lewis

We invite you to join us on our learning journey. In a candid, interview-style setting, Syeta'xtn will share his power of storytelling to address our community's history and First Peoples, while exploring equity, diversity and inclusion.

Syeta'xtn's extensive experience in the educational and political fields will carry us through current topics, from national news headlines to our own backyards and the land around us. With warmth, grace and humour, Chris will answer some tough questions to help expand our understanding and inspire us to keep learning.

Syeta'xtn is a highly respected leader in Vancouver's Indigenous community. He was elected councillor of the Skwxwú7mesh Nation for 3 consecutive 4-year terms, chair of the Aboriginal Reconciliation Council, newly appointed director of Indigenous initiatives and reconciliation at SFU, and has received the Chancellor's Distinguished Service Award.
