Ottawa, ON
Co-hosted by the Department for Indian and Northern Affairs
Canada and the University of Western Ontario.
CURA Representatives Dr. Andrea Walsh and Brenda Baptiste
presented a poster focusing on the Nk’Mip Day School
Collection Research Project. The presentation united the three
principle conference goals by:
- Discussing Nk’Mip community participation in the
research project
- Discussing the utilization of an empowerment model, rather
than one of victimization of aboriginal peoples, as a method
for researching past events in contemporary times
- Demonstrating the benefits of collaborative research and
interdisciplinary research and scholarship.
On November 29, 2002, Andrea and Brenda attended an all-day
workshop hosted by SSHRC to discuss the development of strategic
priorities in the area of Aboriginal research. |
