-Kat Norris, is Coast Salish and Nez Perce & her maternal great great grandmother was from Musqueum. As survivor of the Kuper Island Residential School, she learned to be ashamed of her color and ancestry. At 19 years of age, she became involved with the American Indian Movement Leonard Peltier Defense committee where she learned not only pride but how to organize.
