Students from around the world gathered at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 recently for an immersive, two-week exploration of Indigenous histories and resilience in the face of centuries of colonial oppression. The fourth annual Matariki Indigenous Student Mobility Program (MISMP) brought together 21 participants from universities in the U.S., New Zealand, Australia, Sweden, and Canada, to discuss issues facing Indigenous land, language, and learning.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�We covered a lot of ground, both figuratively and literally, over the course of this year카지노 게임 컬렉션�s program,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Lindsay Morcom, Assistant Professor of Aboriginal Education and MISMP faculty lead at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I카지노 게임 컬렉션�m very proud of how this wonderful and diverse group of students continually sought the deep, meaningful discussions required when learning about the breadth of issues facing Indigenous communities worldwide.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

The program opened with a welcoming ceremony inside a traditional longhouse on Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory 카지노 게임 컬렉션� an area not far from Kingston. The gathering provided students and community attendees with an opportunity to share knowledge, song, and language, as well as explore how Indigenous experiences in Canada connect with Indigenous experiences globally.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Languages hold so many unique ways of understanding and expressing ideas, so it was inspiring to see students, elders, and community members speaking and sharing insights in their heritage languages,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Morcom, who was recently named the Canada Research Chair in Language Revitalization and Decolonizing Education. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Educating in culturally relevant ways not only helps boost self-esteem in students, it also contributes to building their capacity as the next generation of scholars.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Over the following two weeks, students visited Indigenous educational centres in the region, including the Quinte Mohawk School and the First Nations Technical Institute, and spent time at Elbow Lake Environmental Education Centre engaging in discussions with experts and researchers on issues ranging from Indigenous land relations, treaties, feminism, and food sovereignty.

Students also learned about Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션�s assimilative policies and the social impacts of its past residential school program. They visited Kingston Penitentiary as well, learning about and discussing the effects of the penal system on Indigenous communities, and participated in a walking tour of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s campus that highlighted areas of significance to the university카지노 게임 컬렉션�s own Truth and Reconciliation efforts.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I felt seen and I felt loved,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s student participant Caleigh Matheson about her MISMP experience. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I didn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t feel the need to make myself and my opinions smaller, but instead felt reinvigorated. It gave me a bit more faith in academia.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Many participants expressed feelings of acceptance, enlightenment, and inspiration during the program.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Just being able to know that we are not alone was powerful,카지노 게임 컬렉션� added Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s student Brittany McBeath. Matheson and McBeath took part in the MISMP alongside four fellow Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s students.

The program culminated in a trip to Ottawa 카지노 게임 컬렉션� during which MISMP students visited the First Nations exhibits at the Canadian Museum of History 카지노 게임 컬렉션� and field outings to and Curve Lake Whetung Art Centre.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�It was a great pleasure to host the MISMP group this year, as it provided an opportunity for our experts to share much of the great Indigenous research being done here at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Kanonhsyonne (Janice Hill), Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Associate Vice-Principal (Indigenous Initiatives and Reconciliation). 카지노 게임 컬렉션�It also gave students a hands-on experience through which to develop their understanding of our local Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe perspectives, and time to nurture important global relationships and partnerships through this learning.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
