À propos de l'événement
Webinar Description:
Indigenous resurgence is about Indigenous families, communities, and nations reclaiming their teachings and practices. Each nation has protocols and worldviews based on sophisticated knowledge systems that live in our ceremonies, knowledge keepers, and land-based relations. The university can play a valued role in community-led and community-engaged research to support strength-based resurgence efforts. In this session, the role of university partner as helper will be discussed and some insights from successful projects shared.
