White Pines student a repeat finalist in national public speaking contest

Speaker's Idol: Nevaeh Pine of Garden River to use speech on missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and two-spirited people to highlight impacts of systemic racism

An Anishinaabe high school student from Garden River First Nation has been selected as a finalist in a public speaking competition that will see students from across Canada discuss human rights issues and how they envision creating positive change in the world.

This year, students based their speeches on Holocaust survivor and Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal’s quote: "I believe that there is no other solution than to constantly engage with the past and to learn from it.” It’s a familiar topic for Pine: She wrote her very first speech about MMIWG2S as an assignment in school when she was just 12 years old. A year later, she would claim first place for her MMIWG2S speech during a provincial public speaking competition hosted by the Royal Canadian Legion in Niagara Falls.
