ROSE ARCHIE
For episode 5, we speak with Rose Archie, co-founder of Nations, a nonprofit aimed at empowering Indigenous youth to embrace their right to self-determination through the positive impact of skateboarding. Archie is also the organizer of Stop, Drop, & Roll, a women’s skateboard contest hosted annually in Vancouver.
In this episode we speak about Archie’s experience organizing punk concerts in her youth, how that led to her strong community involvement today, and the meaning of being a role model for the Indigenous youth who are growing up skateboarding in Canada today.
