These are named after Shirley Williams, an Odawa/Ojibway elder who became the first Indigenous woman in Canada to reach full professor status through traditional knowledge. She spent decades teaching Anishinaabe language and culture at Trent University, building learning materials from scratch when none existed. That kind of persistence deserves to be worn.
