Sturgeon Lake First Nation: 'Girl Power'
EF 2016-17
Résumé
In partnership with Sturgeon Lake Central School, Sturgeon Lake First Nation (SLFN), Saskatchewan, this community-based research project studies the ways in which girls involved in 'Girl Power', between the ages of 9 to 13, describe the concept of 'empowerment' through western and Plains Cree terminology. 'Girl Power' is an after-school program that helps girls navigate risk factors including, sexual violence and abuse, parental neglect, and teenage pregnancy. This project takes a strength-based approach to First Nation youths research allowing our community-university team to focus on the strength and resilience of First Nation girls. The purpose of this research is to illuminate the experiences of SLFN girls in relation to 'empowerment' and 'disempowerment' to discover strategies used to foster empowerment and identify opportunities for change.
