Sharon Venne was the first Aboriginal ever to graduate with a Masters of Law degree from the University of Alberta. She graduated this past May, she's travelled to every major country in the world, except Mongolia, working with the United Nations, and she's done it all as a single mom.

It's easy to see that Venne's recently completed thesis, Our Elders Understand Our Rights: Evolving International Law Regarding Indigenous Peoples, isn't just an interesting choice of topic, it's her entire way of life.
