MEET OUR STAFF

Michele Graveline, Indigenous Student Advisor


Michele Graveline

Michele Graveline (she/her) is the Indigenous Student Advisor at Dalhousie. I grew up within Treaty 5, in a historical Metis community in Northern Manitoba called Ralls Island. Of mixed ancestry, I have roots to the Red River and Northern Saskatchewan. I arrived in Mi’kma’ki in 1995 for a year and I am still here. I completed a BA (Hons.) at the University of Manitoba (’92) and a MAEd at Mount Saint Vincent University with a thesis titled Reinventing Our Eco-Relationship as Natural World within the Medicine Wheel (2008). My interests include Earth-based healing, personal writing, ecological relations, cultural safety, and anti-violence against women and MMIWGTS. I have been supporting Indigenous students in this territory since 2009, first in public schools and starting in 2017, at Dalhousie.  

Michele can be reached at isc@dal.ca.
