Indigenous news from UVic
Royal Society of Canada class of 2020
The Royal Society of Canada (RSC) announces four UVic researchers as new fellows and member, and also recognizes a professor emeritus for contributions in the literature of social sciences.
Indigenous law centre becomes a reality
The National Centre for Indigenous Laws was made a reality at UVic with $13 million from the BC government, $9.1 million from the federal government and $5 million from the Law Foundation of BC.
Connecting to the sḵwálwen through the land
A donor award supports doctoral student Leigh Joseph—ethnobotanist and small business owner—as she examines the potential for traditional foods and medicines to prevent and manage Type 2 diabetes.
Q&A with John Borrows
John Borrows, Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Law at UVic, is a 2020 recipient of the Governor General's Innovation Award, announced today. Borrows talks about how Indigenous laws and protocols are helping to protect First Nations during the COVID-19 pandemic and how Indigenous laws and the new Canada-US-Mexico Agreement will provide a healthier and an economically stronger future for First Nations.
Study what you stand for
When UVic student Simone Blais was invited to attend a 2016 summit in Toronto for Indigenous and racialized students at the start of the Black Lives Matter movement, she jumped at the opportunity. It was a profound experience, one that compelled her to question the usefulness of post-secondary education. But Blaise has since used her experiences outside of the classroom to build on her studies.
Recognizing a rising leader with big dreams
After a serious motorcycle accident that left him temporarily paralysed, Keenan Andrew left his career as a stone mason behind and returned to his long-held passion to work with children and youth. He began his post-secondary education at 29 years old.
Raincoast Research Chair
Donor funding expands a lab’s research, and teaching and outreach programs in community-driven applied conservation science.
Decolonizing the library
Indigenous leader Ry Moran becomes Canada’s first-ever Associate University Librarian—Reconciliation at UVic Libraries. In this new role, Moran will be looking to partner with Indigenous communities and work to directly address the need to help preserve and sustain Indigenous knowledge, as well as introduce Indigenous approaches to knowledge into the daily work of the Libraries.
Trudeau scholar addresses gender violence
Can Indigenous diplomatic legal principles help lead communities away from gender violence? Jasmine Dionne, a UVic PhD student in political science, is working with the Cree and Metis community of Saka Wiyiniwak (Cree for “Boreal Forest Peoples”) in Northeastern Alberta to reimplement Indigenous legal principles, as part of a three-year scholarship, announced this month by the Pierre Elliot Trudeau Foundation. She is one of only 16 Canadian doctoral students receiving a $180,000 award.
SSHRC Storytellers finalists
Two UVic researchers named top 25 "Storytellers" in the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council's annual competition. They show Canadians the impact of their research in just three minutes.
Scholars celebrated for commitment to justice
One researcher looks forward, the other back. But a commitment to justice unites two scholars being honoured for their respective efforts to strengthen Indigenous and Japanese Canadian communities in BC. Conservationist Chris Darimont and historian Jordan Stanger-Ross are the 2020 recipients of the Provost’s Award in Engaged Scholarship.
