Cheyenne Wood

she/they
Summer Journalist
and
Secretary / Staff Collective Member

Cheyenne first joined the Arthur as a staff writer in her first year at Trent in 2019 and has been a contributor ever since, even joining Arthur’s board as secretary in early 2021. A firm believer that the pen is mightier than the sword, Cheyenne has no qualms in taking up swords when it comes to video games or dungeons and dragons. An aspiring journalist and writer, Cheyenne seeks to offer unique perspectives from their intersectional position as a queer, urban Indigenous youth. More often than not she seeks to educate and inform others on sociopolitical issues that affect minorities, both locally and nationally. Some of their other work includes 50 years on a Road Less Travelled and Through the Eyes of Gamechangers, two articles she was commissioned to write for Trent’s Alumni Magazine, volume 50.2. When it comes to her writing, Cheyenne always wears their heart on their sleeve, so often you’ll find her writing about things that she feels passionate about.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Articles
Catholic Church Calls Accountability 'Unfair'
In this article, Cheyenne Wood unpacks the troubling deflections of blame made by members of the Catholic Church and the Canadian government in the weeks since the discovery of a mass grave of Indigenous children at the Kamloops Residential School. While neither institution has fully taken on accountability for the atrocities committed, they both have blood on their hands.
Defending Moose on Unceded Lands
In this Arthur exclusive, Cheyenne Wood interviews an Indigenous Trent Student who was involved in organizing a moratorium on unceded Algonquin lands near La Vérendrye Wildlife Reserve in Northern Quebec. Local Anishinaabeg community members have been calling for a five year moratorium on non-Indigenous moose hunting to to allow for repopulation. Recent years have seen a steep decline in moose, and a lack of response from the Quebec government. Cheyenne Wood uses this example to explore other examples of contemporary colonial violence in Canada, and the difficulties involved in defending unceded territory.
