Indigenous news from UVic
BCCIE award to Indigenous co-op exchange
UVic’s unique Indigenous International Work-Integrated Learning Exchange Program—the first of its kind in the world—has been awarded the 2019 British Columbia Council for International Education’s (BCCIE) Award for Outstanding Program in International Education for its high-quality and highly creative programming in international education.
Kirkness Foundation funds youth STEM camp
Lysozymes. Particle physics. Virtual reality. Drone technology. Black holes. These are a few of the science and technology topics that 10 Indigenous high school students delved into during a week-long STEM residency at the University of Victoria from May 27-31. The grade 11 students—nine from BC and one from Saskatchewan—were mentored by UVic professors and grad students over five eventful days on campus.
2019 Indspire award for Métis filmmaker
Barbara Todd Hager, UVic’s new Indigenous communications officer in the Office of Indigenous Academic and Community Engagement, is the latest recipient of the prestigious annual Indspire Arts Award.
Classroom under water
UVic’s scientific diving program has given three decades of students the tools, training and hands-on learning they need to safely and successfully conduct research under water.
Connecting Indigenous peoples
During a two-week stay in Canada, UVic geography faculty and three Maasai from Tanzania exchanged cultural knowledge and practices with First Nations from the T’souke and Tla-o-qui-aht on Vancouver Island to the Selkirk and Carcross-Tagish peoples of the Yukon.
Building on respect and reconciliation commitments
Securing funding for a new national centre for Indigenous law and reconciliation, and launching the world’s first Indigenous law degree program, are just two of the significant steps UVic has taken this year to advance its commitment to foster…
Cultural re-centring model
How does one “speak back” to violence experienced by Indigenous girls, young women, two-spirit youth, even whole communities impacted from centuries of oppression? This question frames the work of Sisters Rising, an Indigenous-led, community-based research project that honours Indigenous youth who have experienced sexualized, gender-based violence by offering traditional land- and arts-based teachings.
ELC and education department in Mexico
Cultural exchange is a core component of the program at UVic’s English Language Centre. A simple request for "something more"—suggested by the Department of Education in the state of Veracruz, Mexico—created what has become an invaluable opportunity for Indigenous-international collaboration and dynamic learning at UVic.
Repatriating residential school art across Canada
In an ongoing effort toward reconciliation, Andrea Walsh has been on a decade-long journey to repatriate residential school art work. “The repatriation work began with the Alberni IRS,” says Walsh, “and our collaborative work to build research partnerships has extended across the country to smaller northern institutions in Manitoba and Ontario.”
Changing the narrative for Indigenous youth
UVic social work student Santanna Hernandez's path to university was full of twists and turns—much like the Columbia River cutting through her hometown of Trail, BC. Now a mother of four, Hernandez will graduate from UVic in 2019 and is currently applying to medical schools.
Building Reconciliation Forum
In November, UVic hosted the fourth National Building Reconciliation Forum in partnership with Universities Canada. The annual gathering serves as a way to explore how universities, governments and Indigenous communities can work together to answer the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action.
Artistic space
Indigenous Governance graduate Jarrett Martineau is a leading influencer within the Canadian media scene, having produced several high-profile projects in the last 15 years. His is a story of remarkable success for someone who has barely brushed his forties.
