“Where the water meets the shore and the laughter floats on the breeze”

Chrissy Goodwin was one of the earliest members of the SASSAk12 community, and she went on to build her own community informed by her passion to ensure the persistence of Indigenous practices, beliefs, and values - including community members from around the world. We are grateful to have been part of that community. We invite you to take a moment to remember Chrissy.
