Dr. Ramona Neckoway, the head of the new department of Indigenous initiatives and reconciliation at the University College of the North.
The department of Indigenous initiatives and reconciliation, which launched Jan. 3, was created to better develop curriculum, while also helping students get the most out of Indigenous-related topics. "Those teachings and those stories, all of those pieces, they're really a part of my experience and my journey," she said.
The department was created after years of work on the university's Indigenous curriculum policy, and will seek to make Indigenous knowledge more accessible both in current courses and by creating new courses. "Sometimes we need to take different and innovative approaches to learning language or to giving folks opportunities to build back culture or to build back knowledge that may not be there for a whole bunch of different reasons," Neckoway said.
Neckoway said she is still adjusting to being named department head, although the appointment was announced Dec. 15."It's not a position or a role that I take lightly. There's a lot of responsibility, and I want to make sure that it's done in a culturally meaningful and a culturally appropriate way.
