Grant: Travel Awards - Institute Community Support

The journey into the world of Universities is a complicated one for Aboriginal students. There is a fine line between getting absorbed into the world of white Western knowledge systems and getting to know enough of it to assert Aboriginal voices to build bridges of understanding. I came back to school to learn the skills and gain institutional access to do research with Indigenous communities. This presentation will share my journey into finding my voice through the knowledge systems of both Western and Indigenous ways, which has lead to my own Swampy Cree ways. This presentation will contribute to the development of Aboriginal methodologies in research.
