Meet Christopher Stock

Christopher Stock (he/him) is a fifth-generation member of Wáhta Mohawk Territory near Bala, Ontario. Christopher’s ancestors relocated from Kanehsatà:ke- Oka Quebec to Muskoka, Ontario, Canada in 1881. He is a graduate of the Mohawk Immersion Adult Language Program at Wáhta Mohawk Territory, as well as a graduate of Queen’s University’s Indigenous Teacher Education Program and holds a Primary/Junior Certification from the Ontario College of Teachers. During his high school years, Christopher was among the contributors to the creation of the first Native Studies course at Bracebridge and Muskoka Lakes Secondary School.

In 2018, Christopher was diagnosed with Aggressive Stage 4 Diffuse, Large B-cell Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and has been 5 years cancer free. All of his unique experiences, coupled with Christopher’s lifechanging journey through cancer- which has resulted in permanent nerve damage in both legs, have highlighted what truly matters in life: time.

Christopher’s Interactive Indigenous Cultural Experiences through A Journey Begins…, offer an introduction to North America’s Indigenous People and their culture, creating a welcoming, inviting, engaging, positive experience, and an opportunity to build a bridge towards active and sustaining Truth and Reconciliation. His hope is that by taking a journey with him you will not only experience the rich history of Indigenous people in Canada, but will also leave with a new perspective on life.
