Orvis has been a grateful guest on the territories of the Esquimalt, Songhees and WSÁNEĆ peoples for the last 4 years. Orvis is descended from Irish, English, Scottish and German people that settled around the Great Lakes and grew up in Tkaronto. Orvis joins the TMP to collaborate on data analytics. Like many trans people, Orvis has lived experience with how data can lead to erasure and harm. Orvis’s passion is to make visible the world views imbedded within data structures and redress extractive data practices.
