Indigenous community leaders, Elders, academic, students and other institutional partners gathered at the Musqueam Cultural Pavilion on January 22, 2019, to brainstorm in-depth strategies to promote new innovative concepts for Indigenous research reconciliation.
The goal of the meeting was to listen and reflect Indigenous community perspectives on how to foster a system that supports young researchers, develop innovative models for conducting Indigenous research, explore the process for communities to reclaim Indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing, and delve into the processes to mobilize new knowledge systems in partnerships to process reconciliation. Through talking circles, participants listened to Indigenous community leaders, Elders, academic, students, and other institutional partners gathered at the Museum Cultural Pavilion to brainstorm in-depth strategies to promote new innovative concepts for Indigenous research reconciliation.
