LONDON, ONT. It s International Women’s Day, a day to recognize the strength of women and their ability to break down barriers, and some local Indigenous women are doing just that. Nineteen-year-old Sierra Jamieson was born and raised in London, Ont., and her people are from Oneida Nation of the Thames First Nation. Jamieson said she experienced racism and bullying while attending schools across the region, for being the only Indigenous student in the classroom. “I got bullied a lot, I was the only Indigenous person. Everyone kind of picked on me because I was different from anyone, dark brown hair, brown skin, dark eyes…I’m not a stereotype, we weren’t born stereotypes.”
