Devo Moosewaypayo is an Indigenous undergraduate student at the University of Toronto. She is intending to graduate this spring with an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree in Indigenous Studies and History. As someone who did not complete high school, Devo was able to enter the university through the Academic Bridging Program at Woodsworth College in 2021.

As a member of the Kinistin Saulteaux Nation in Treaty 4, Devo found community at the university with other Indigenous students both in her programs and at First Nations House. In 2022, Devo, along with other dedicated Indigenous students, revitalized the Indigenous Students’ Association. She is deeply committed to supporting other Indigenous students at the university. Through her own experience, she believes that a strong community of Indigenous peers is essential for achieving one’s own goals as Indigenous students.
