-- Martin Heavy Head is 32, a member of the Blood Tribe, studying psychology, philosophy, and political science in University and is one of a number of Indigenous candidates running in Alberta’s upcoming municipal election.
In fact, Heavy Head is the first Indigenous person to run for mayor in Lethbridge, Alberta’s history.
“For children to see, for youth to see, from the reserve, you know you can do this,” said Heavy Head who has lived almost his entire life in Lethbridge. “You can do this, you can run for council, you’re apart of this too.”
Heavy Head was the first Indigenous person to run for city council in 2013.
