"As we enter this new age that is being called "The Age of Information," I like to think it is the age when healing will take place. This is a good time to acknowledge our accomplishments. This is a good time to share. We need to learn from the wisdom of our ancestors. We need to recognize the hard work of our predecessors which has brought us to where we are today.
Doreen Jensen, May 29, 1992
The Honour of One is the Honour of All exhibition is a tribute to the First Nations men and women recognized by the University of British Columbia for their distinguished achievements and outstanding service to either the life of the university, the province, or on a national or international level.
This tribute shows that excellence can be expressed in many ways. Focussing their unrelenting energy and persistence on creating a better world for First Nations people, these men and women have ignited fires of First Nations pride and self-determination that now burn brightly in the hearts and minds of the people they've touched.
We plan to continue the tradition of recognizing distinguishing First Nations people by extending this exhibit over time to include the photographs of University of British Columbia honourary graduates still to be named. We regret that we have been unable to obtain the photograph of Phyllis Amelia Chelsea in this exhibit.
