SSHRC IG awarded 2022: The research aims to understand the importance of collective memory and collective identity to the resilience and self-organization of nine Indigenous nations and communities across Canada on Turtle Island (North America). Specifically, the research focuses on processes of

seeing as a way to balance Indigenous and mainstream approaches such as Organizational Memory Studies. The team engages in ethnography adopting a inductive, qualitative, and exploratory approach towards of the nine case studies in order to understand the similarities and differences across each community

SSHRC IG awarded 2023: Canadians have recently been engaged in an intensified confrontation with colonial history and the systemic oppression of Indigenous peoples. Growing awareness of this troubling history has resulted in the creation of required Indigenous content courses in teacher education

programs across the country. These courses usually conform to conventional understandings of teaching and learning that share information 'about' Indigenous peoples, but often fail to provide meaningful and transformational contributions to teacher education programs. The fundamental problem is that

educational practices continue to be dominated by colonial worldview that blocks opportunities to learn 'from' Indigenous peoples. Colonial worldview is founded on relationship denial and proclaims Euroheritage knowledge insights to be of most worth. In light of this persistent and ongoing problem, the

SSHRC Awarded IG 2018: This Aboriginal and community-based, participatory research project aims to co-create knowledge about the holistic (emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual) benefits to Indigenous youth of participating in northern games, and to identify factors that might be modified to

maximize positive holistic outcomes for Indigenous youth. We will recruit a purposeful and convenient sample (as described by Patton, 2002) of 50 participants: 30 Indigenous youth between the ages of 15 and 24 years (consistent with Statistics Canada’s definition of youth), 10 parents/guardians, 5 coaches

, and 5 Elders living in Inuvik, NT with experience of northern games. The perspectives of Indigenous peoples are underrepresented in the sport research literature, and it is critical to ensure that sport research more readily acknowledges the encompassing view of sport held by many Indigenous peoples

SSHRC IG awarded 2024:The current Alberta framework for considering industrial cumulative adverse effects on treaty territories has not been able to account for Indigenous ways of life, perspectives, and law. Cumulative impacts of developments such as oil and gas, hydropower dams, and tracking are

a clear result of the provincial Crown's piecemeal and unilateral approval of projects as the proxy for environmental decision-making. A legal and policy framework that allows for collaborative governance with First Nations taking a regional and strategic view of Indigenous territories is necessary

. The overarching goal of the project Realizing Indigenous jurisdiction for environmental decision-making in historic treaty lands is to develop knowledge that supports the reform of Alberta's laws and policies to address the issue of cumulative impacts of development on Indigenous peoples' treaty

SSHRC IG awarded 2021: This project reconceives of the Jesuit Relations as the result of dialogue instead of the sole labour of dedicated, scholarly priests. It seeks to account for how the Jesuits' Indigenous interlocutors contributed to the texts, and how those contributions were subsequently

masked by missionary authors and editors. Indigenous sources are quoted or credited selectively in the Relations, and previous studies have assessed their contributions to the texts on that basis. As my own research has suggested, however, there is good reason to think that significant changes to the raw

material of the texts were made in both New France and Paris prior to publication, making the printed books an unreliable record of how---and what---Indigenous people contributed to them. Instead of relying on the Relations alone, this project will draw on sources that are related to the published texts

SSHRC Awarded IG 2018: This project addresses a hidden bias of mainstream teaching and learning, wherein Indigenous and locally-held knowledge is often positioned as the oral teachings of the past, in contrast to the contemporary character of digital literacy. The three-year project takes a

strengths-based approach to explore and develop, in partnership with Piikani First Nation, appropriate forms of Blackfoot (Piikani) digital literacy. The participatory action research project's data collection is grounded in Indigenous methodologies and built around the now, well-developed Piikani Cultural
