Indigenous knowledges, innovation, planning and responsiveness are enduring reference points for the maintenance of balance and harmony and ones that have effectively sustained Indigenous nations for thousands of years. Despite the ubiquity of Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing, relatively little is known on the part of mainstream knowledge systems about the nature, beliefs and motivations of Indigenous cultures. In this interactive session, participants will be introduced to the Indigenous paradigm and Indigenous methodologies using Willie Ermine’s Ethical Space of Engagement (2007) as a reference point. Participants can expect to walk away with a flexibility in thinking and deeper understanding of Indigenous lifeways and methods for conducting respectful research from an Indigenous perspective. Facilitated by Dr. Gabrielle Weasel Head, Associate Professor, Indigenous Studies,  Mt. Royal University.
