Working full time, doing my MA full time, and being massively, unreasonably pregnant, doesn’t leave me with a lot of time to do my regular blogging. However, I recently gave a talk at the University of Winnipeg as part of their Wewewi Indigenous Scholars Speaker Series and I thought I’d share that with you! Behold me in all my awkward glory, as I wildly gesticulate and think through some thoughts I have on the concept of “Indigenization”.
Also, if you like this video format, here are some other Weweni talks you might enjoy (these are among my favourites in their series)!
Dr. Lorna Williams: How Universities Can Support Indigenous Language Revitalization
Dr. Alex Wilson: Coming in to Indigenous Sovereignty, Relationality and Resurgence
Dr. Adam Gaudry: Are the Métis Treaty People
Dr. Leroy Little Bear: What I Know About Canada

First of all, I love smart, articulate, indigenous women. As an indigenous woman, an engineer working in industry, I have seen progress, I see companies making genuine efforts to understand, to make a difference. I have hope for the future. I also see more and more indigenous people IN the industry, not just bystanders. Education is the key. We need more indigenous youth sitting around the executive tables making decisions. I am proud to be one of those who are indigenous, an engineer, and helping make decisions.
