This week, students, faculty, and staff at Fisher marked Indigenous People's Day with a variety of presentations and events around campus. Take a look!
A student wearing a St. John Fisher University Soccer sweatshirt places a sign in front of Lavery Library. The sign contains a quote from Chief Dan George of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation that reads, "If you talk to the animals, they will talk with you, and you will know each other. If you do not talk to them, you will not know them, and what you do not know, you will fear. What one fears, one destroys." University Archivist Julia Novakovic speaks with a student at Lavery Library in the Archives' display of the George Decker Collection. Students gather around a crafting table in the Donald E. Bain Campus Center. Two students pose for a photo at a crafting table in the Donald E. Bain Campus Center.

This Saturday marks the 20th annual #CourageBowl. All week, we're taking a look back at 20 years of courage and remembering that it's more than a game!
Image scans from the Cardinal Courier showcase coverage of the Courage Bowl in September 2005. A photo spread includes images of a player standing with an honorary coach, another honorary coach standing along the sideline, watching the game as other players chat nearby, a homecoming king and queen, a band playing in the Keough Quad, and students posing for a photo with Beaks the Cardinal. A second page from the September 2005 spread in the Courier showcases a full team photo, another of a coach standing on the sideline, and another player performing a musical number on a saxophone. A page from the Cardinal Courier in 2006. The headline reads, "Courage Bowl II a success," and photos showcase football players, honorary coaches, and students watching the game. A Cardinal Courier scan following the third Courage Bowl reads, 'Cards claim Courage Bowl III," and features a wide image of players and honorary coaches on the field at Growney Stadium.
