Aaron Pete: Bigger Than Me

Meet Aaron Pete, UFV Alumni

Aaron Pete is a member of Chawathil First Nation within the Stó:lō Territory. Aaron started from humble beginnings in Downtown Chilliwack, British Columbia. Aaron was raised by an Indigenous single mother who was born with a disability, where they lived on social assistance in a household with food insecurity.

Aaron's mother relied on community resources while Aaron was growing up, which gave him a deep understanding of the value of community. In 2017, he graduated from the University of the Fraser Valley with a Criminology Degree and had a goal to pursue law school.

Today, Aaron Pete is the host of the Bigger Than Me Podcast, a graduate of Peter A. Allard School of Law, and a Business Recovery Advisor. Aaron also sits on the Board of Directors with the Chilliwack Cultural Centre and the Chawathil Economic Development Committee.

In addition, Aaron also provides presentations on Indigenous Cultural Awareness, where he aims to bridge the divides and make learning about Indigenous topics accessible.
