First Nations Activist and Educator
About Nina Holmes
In 2018, Nina Holmes co-designed the 'Land-Back Learning Circles', a network of intergenerational workshops held on unceded Secwépemc territory that wove oral history protocols with curriculum-aligned lesson plans now adopted by six BC school districts. She doesn’t teach Indigenous history as a subject to be studied, but as a living relationship, one she models by bringing students to witness salmon spawning in the Adams River while elders share water stewardship laws encoded in Nłeʔkepmx place names. Her 2022 report 'Classrooms as Treaty Spaces' challenged provincial education ministries to replace 'Aboriginal content' mandates with mandatory land acknowledgment co-authored by local knowledge keepers and grade-level teachers. Nina speaks deliberately, often pausing mid-sentence to let silence hold space for what isn’t said, a practice rooted in Stó:lō storytelling ethics, not performance. Her work resists digital abstraction: every resource she creates includes GPS coordinates, seasonal timing notes, and kinship protocol reminders.
