ReconciliACTION through meaningful Indigenous-led Indigenization in Québec Cégeps

Abstract

"The article distills insights from Red River Métis filmmaker and educator Michelle Smith’s early pathbreaking work with Indigenous programs at John Abbott and Dawson Colleges. Michelle’s contribution ensures that an Indigenist approach is front and center as she weaves reflections on her experience as a Métis educator with lessons learned from Indigenous students and communities, offering provocative questions and actionable suggestions. Michelle shows how taking the lead from Indigenous students and communities can transform relationships and decision-making in CEGEPs and make education more accessible to Indigenous students." -- provided by author
