Kura Rorick
Hello, I am Kura Rorick. I am 11 years old. I’m Hesquiaht (Nuu-chah-nulth) and Haida, and I love to research about my culture. I mostly enjoy things like totem poles, masks, woven hats, etc. but really I like to see any type of First Nations art! Another thing I enjoy is learning my mom’s Nuu-chah-nulth language. I’ve been to hundreds of her classes and language nests. I have even been to Juneau, Alaska, to see the Sealaska heritage celebration in 2018. I have always been involved with my culture and I will always look forward to learning more !
