SSHRC CG awarded 2019: Tuberculosis (TB) is an endemic disease within many Indigenous communities in the Treaty 8 territory. It has roots both within the historical contexts of the affected communities, and the historic failure of clinical medicine to achieve culturally relevant health outcomes. In

event willfocus on the knowledge held by community members, and the historical record including the rights of Indigenous peoples as they relate to the interface between government/western medicine/universities, and communities living with persistently high rates of TB. It will be an opportunity to learn

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

to develop data sharing processes for H. pylori genomics research, that respect community values. Genomics research can generate valuable scientific knowledge. For Indigenous peoples, it offers knowledge regarding biological matters that concern them. However, current norms and expectations for

openly sharing scientific data were developed to primarily benefit science and scientific researchers. Guidelines for genomics research do not consider the special context of research with Indigenous partners, who have been historically exploited by academic institutions. This project will use a

academic partners to discuss the process and research norms of genomics, the history of research in the communities, and research protocols in NWT and YT. We will collect data on the impacts of genomics research in a shared-learning environment, where Indigenous and academic research partners can work
