Brian visited 杏吧原创 University to conduct a Research Talk on October 19, 2023.

Filmmaker Courtney Montour discusses her research process in the creation of her film. Her research resulted in her gaining access to never-before-seen footage of Mary Two-Axe Earley and visits with Mary鈥檚 friends and family. She describes the methods she used to gather her research and how she was able to bring this important film to screen. Dr. Beverly Jacobs shares her perspective on the impact that Mary Two-Axe Earley had on rights for Indigenous women in Canada.

Join Visiting Indigenous Scholar Tasha Beeds in a discussion on Indigenous grassroots academic research approaches. In this talk, Tasha will share some of her experiences as an Indigenous land and water activator who brought Indigenous knowledges, intellectual traditions, and spiritual understandings into her doctoral research.

Dr. Henry Lickers and Biology professors from 杏吧原创 University and the University of Ottawa informally discuss the connections and relations between Western Science and Indigenous Science. This meaningful discussion is meant to reframe thinking regarding Indigenous Science and help to promote dialogue between universities and local Indigenous Nations.

Join inaugural visiting scholar Tasha Beeds as she discusses Indigenous communities and research!

“Indigenous communities, movement, or in this case “research,” seldom occurs in isolation; Instead, it inherently reflects our interconnectedness with each other and with the rest of Creation. With this understanding, everything we do links back not only to our people but also to the Lands, Waters, and all living beings through a continuum that stretches back to our Ancestors and to our future. Ethics, in an academic context is usually applied to living beings; however, within Indigeneity, the concept of living is extended beyond the human realm. As such, the concept of ethics takes on new dimensions.”

In this talk, Tasha Beeds discusses the different Indigenous Research Methods present in today’s time. Join us in engaging further with Indigenous Research Methods as this lecture series is presented by Anako’s visiting scholars.
