One of the first things that comes to mind when people think about Canada is ice hockey. For many Canadians, the sport is deeply linked to perceptions of national identity, and hockey stories help explain who they are and where they belong. But where do Indigenous peoples fit in these narratives about what it means to be truly Canadian? Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 researcher, , helped create the Indigenous Hockey Research Network (IHRN) with hopes of illuminating, complicating, and developing how we view our national pastime.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Given its popularity, we see hockey as a potential meeting place for community building and Indigenous empowerment,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. McKegney, who received a $305,000 from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) in 2018 to conduct the IHRN카지노 게임 컬렉션�s work. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Understanding our shared and contrary experiences within the context of the sport could also shed light on a potential vehicle for the ongoing pursuit of reconciliation in our country.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Through archival research, personal interviews, data analysis, and Indigenous community-led approaches, Dr. McKegney카지노 게임 컬렉션�s team looks to uncover and engage with the sport카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Indigenous past, present, and future to understand its role in relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Canada.

Hockey occupies a complicated space between Indigenous self-determination and ongoing settler colonialism in Canada, as in the past it served both oppressive and liberating roles for Indigenous people. According to Dr. McKegney, the sport was employed in residential schools and elsewhere as a tool of 카지노 게임 컬렉션�colonial social engineering카지노 게임 컬렉션� designed to encourage Indigenous youth to shed connections with their traditional cultural values and enforce new, prescriptive identity formations. Conversely, many survivors of residential schools claim playing the game helped them endure the trauma of those years.

"This duality in hockey카지노 게임 컬렉션�s history could present a means through which to support Indigenous sovereignty, community well-being, and gender equality,카지노 게임 컬렉션� he says, 카지노 게임 컬렉션�as well as to promote settler understanding of colonial history and potential pathways toward righting injustice. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�

From Friday, March 1 to Saturday, March 2, Dr. McKegney hosted 15 IHRN scholars and graduate students at the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts for a 카지노 게임 컬렉션�visioning gathering카지노 게임 컬렉션�. These experts in sport history, sociology, gender theory, narrative studies, and filmmaking, together with Indigenous and non-Indigenous community advisors, worked to hone the research objectives and methodologies of the multi-year project.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�There was so much knowledge and experience present at the gathering in Kingston. To have that focus and attention on our work makes our projects that much stronger,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Janice Forsyth, IHRN member and director of the First Nations Studies program at Western 카지노게임사이트. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�The network is and will be an important site for us to share information, and to test and refine our ideas and analysis, as well as a critical source of support for the graduate student members, who now have a well-defined research community to rely on for assistance and feedback.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Vision gathering participants also took time to develop skills and expertise necessary to best share their future findings, during a daylong series of workshops facilitated by Abenaki filmmaker Kim O카지노 게임 컬렉션�bomsawin. The IHRN team aims to produce a documentary film on the project as work progresses over the next five years.

In keeping with the project카지노 게임 컬렉션�s aim to promote community building, the vision gathering participants bonded further over a pick-up hockey game at the Leon카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Centre on the evening of March 1.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Research on Indigenous hockey is really important because if we카지노 게임 컬렉션�re able to figure out the keys to positive experiences and skills and passions that last a lifetime, then that카지노 게임 컬렉션�s great,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Mike Auksi, Ojibway/Estonian international and 카지노게임사이트 of Toronto/Ryerson varsity hockey player. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�On the other end of that, if we can figure out what카지노 게임 컬렉션�s leading to negative experiences or leading people to stop playing the game, then we may have a small part to play in improving that as well.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
