Diane is an Inuk woman mixed with English settler ancestry, originally from Hopedale, traditionally known as Arvetok, the place of bowhead whales in Nunatsiavut, Labrador. She currently lives in Mi’kma’ki/Nova Scotia and is a doctoral candidate in the Educational Foundations PhD program at Mount Saint Vincent University. Her dissertation research explores the intersections between Indigenous land education and contemplative ecological studies,  drawing on ancient wisdom that helps cultivate the inner resources needed to face, and engage in dialogue about, the current climate crisis.
