Conference Presentation: Multigenerational Stories of Indian Day Schools in Kahnawà:ke

Very thankful for the opportunity to present my ongoing doctoral research on Indian Day Schools in my home community, Kahnawà:ke Kanien’kehá:ka territory. It was a challenge to provide a snapshot of this important issue and my research progress in just 15 minutes. I received a positive response and thank the people that joined in to listen. Gratitude to the conference organizers, presenters, and everyone that participated.

This annual conference is organized by the Education Graduate Students Society (EGSS) at McGill University as an opportunity for students to share and learn from each other. This year’s conference theme was: Challenge, Change & Resilience.

Niá:wen to my friend Eun-ji for sending a screenshot of my presentation 🙂

Joining a tv-series writer’s room

February 26, 2022 No Comments

I have done many presentations, guest lectures, and conferences over the years as a scholar and activist. Yesterday was the first time that I was invited to join a writer’s room (virtually) for a Canadian television series. I appreciate the efforts of these creators and writers to be inclusive of Indigenous voices & realities. This particular episode coincides with my area of expertise, Indigenous education & Indian Day Schools.

I can’t wait for this episode to air!

Grateful for the opportunity to speak to a political science class at McGill University on Indigenous governance systems, specifically the Haudenosaunee (Rotinonhsión:ni) Confederacy. It was a pleasure to speak from my personal experience as a Kanien’kehá:ka woman. We had some issues with the internet during the lecture, appreciative of everyone’s patience and understanding. Niawen’kó:wa 🙂
