Is the academy a safe space for Indigenous women and our knowledge?
To me, universities have always represented places where people have the time and space they need to tackle the big questions facing our society.
Some of the accused have been terminated, lost academic chair positions or honours, and have even been asked to leave boards and other prestigious appointments. Others are trying to stay under the radar, in the hopes that no one speaks up or questions their Indigenous identity claims. I tried to bury my insecurities by focusing on my education. I was drawn to stories – both listening to them, and telling them. My family told the most amazing stories about my grandparents and extended family – they were funny, exciting and connected me with my community. It’s what drew me to journalism, a world in which I could seek out and share stories that could make a difference in the world.
Through my own research and my personal efforts to reconnect with my history, I learned that this work must be done with intention and reciprocity. I will always be grateful to the people at FNUniv who helped me find my way home. Many do not get the opportunity to do this work or find a real place to belong.
