Elder Martha Peet
Blueprint Elder
Contact denise.tardiff@umanitoba.ca to reach her.
For several years Elder Martha Peet has been sharing wisdom and providing guidance to the Blueprint Steering Committee. Our goal is to ensure Blueprint initiatives are community driven and focused on meeting the needs of Indigenous students. We understand fully that being advised by a strong Elders’ Council must be at the heart of this and we are in the process of forming an Elders’ or Grandparents’ Council
