Our Mission

Build a legacy with and for Indigenous peoples that showcases the impact of their knowledge and ways of living and highlights the importance of being good relatives for people outside the community.

Positionality

We are a diverse group of researchers led by Nêhiyaw scholar Dr. Paulina Johnson, based at the Univeristy of Alberta.

Relationship building and ceremony guide our work. We aim to uphold Treaty while nurturing the spirit of our work: respect, humility, love, and fun.

Research Highlight

The Auntie Is In podcast is not your typical podcast – it is a living intellectual tradition based in Nehiyawak (Four-Spirit) tradition and culture. Rooted in Narrative Methodology and layered in storytelling and lived experience, the podcast (re)stories the historical and current realities
of Nehiyawak and other Indigenous peoples, while highlighting resonances and dissonances between Indigenous and Western pedagogies.
