Marika Schalla is a busy woman with some big dream

Marika Schalla is a busy woman with some big dreams…and she’s taking all the steps to make them a reality. 😊

Not only is she currently completing a post-baccalaureate diploma in education in the Indigenous Knowledges stream at the University of Winnipeg, she’s also teaching at an Indigenous school in Winnipeg's north end community.

And did we mention she’s also running her own business? Heartberry Education helps individuals, schools, institutions and organizations across Canada facilitate Indigenous (Anishinaabe and Red River Métis) education.

And she’s doing it all while raising a young family! It's no wonder that this talented young educator was the recipient of Indspire’s 2022 Guiding the Journey Award for Innovative Practice. 🤩

Marika is supported by the Walmart Canada Indigenous Bursary through our Building Brighter Futures: Bursaries and Scholarships program, and dreams of creating systemic change in education from the inside out.

She says: “My goal is to become an Administrator in my division. I hope one day to become the first Métis-Anishinaabe Chief Superintendent. I would also consider becoming a professor teaching about Indigenous education one day...I have so many big dreams that denote serious change in our education systems…I can get my post graduate diploma and go on to more so I can help enact the real change I want to see in our school systems and our community for truth, reconciliation and a better tomorrow for Indigenous and non-Indigenous students.”
