Indigenous news from UVic
First Nations clean energy survey
A new survey on clean energy was released April 24 by the BC First Nations Clean Energy Working Group in partnership with Clean Energy BC and UVic's School of Environmental Studies.
REACH Awards
This May, an inaugural event—the REACH Awards—will combine the Teaching Excellence Awards with the Craigdarroch Research Awards into a single event that celebrates the extraordinary teachers and researchers who lead the way in dynamic learning and make a vital impact at UVic, in the classroom and beyond.
Award celebrates patient-oriented research
Charlotte Loppie, a professor in UVic's School of Public Health and Social Policy and director of the Centre for Indigenous Research and Community-Led Engagement—is one of three Canadian researchers who will be awarded a prestigious Gold Leaf Prize from CIHR at a May 16 ceremony in Ottawa.
Legacy of Nancy Turner
UVic ethnobotanist Nancy Turner, as part of her legacy and the 2015 Pierre Elliott Trudeau Fellowship, is leading a four-day ethnoecology symposium at UVic (now full to capacity), which will also feature a keynote address on May 3 by renowned essayist John Ralston Saul.
Students connect with Australian Aboriginal community on Indigenous exchange
Jackson McDermott and Tami Schiefelbein had no lack of support before leaving on their work exchange to Newcastle, Australia, last fall. The two Indigenous students received $6,000 from the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship program for young global leaders, had a team of co-op staff to assist with travel logistics, and attended cultural competency classes to prepare themselves for three-and-a-half months of working at the Wollotuka Institute at the University of Newcastle.
New find on Triquet Island
UVic PhD candidate Alisha Gauvreau is one member of an archaeological team from UVic, the Hakai Institute and local First Nations that found an ancient village site on Triquet Island, reaffirming Heiltsuk First Nation oral history of an ice-free place during the last Ice Age.
New Indigenous program is a first for Canada
A UVic program in Indigenous nationhood that is the first of its kind in Canada will train the next generation of leaders, scholars and researchers in how law, politics and governance intersect at a critical time for Indigenous relations in Canada.
Millennia-spanning forest study awarded
Outstanding research in ecology was announced this week by the Ecological Society of America. A team of UVic researchers and grad students were recognized for their contribution to the fields of plant ecology and biogeography with the William Skinner Cooper Award for their research study, "Intertidal resource use over millennia enhances forest productivity," published in Nature Communications last year.
“Our women have always carved”
The newest exhibit at UVic's Legacy Art Gallery Downtown seeks to correct gendered colonial myths with works by Ellen Neel, a woman carver of the Northwest Coast. Ellen Newman Neel (Kwagiulth, Kwickwasutaineuk and 'Namgis) is often described as the first Northwest Coast woman carver. A prolific artist, she was only 49 years old when she passed away in the 1960s. But her defiance of gender barriers and federal law carries deep resonance for all Canadians to this day—and her artistic legacy lives on in the work of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Symposium is first for UVic's Canada 150
The presentation of the first-ever translations in the local Indigenous languages of the original Douglas Treaties of the colony of Vancouver Island is a pivotal element in a historic event taking place Feb. 24-26 in Victoria as part of UVic's Canada 150 celebrations.
Beyond Borders student fund
Thanks to the Beyond Borders fund initiated by President Jamie Cassels in 2015, even more UVic students have journeyed deep into communities well beyond the borders of our campus. Here are three student stories of transformative journeys overseas.
Spreading a love of science
Microbiology co-op student Levana Mastrangelo is doing her part to make a difference in local Indigenous communities. She recently completed a co-operative education (co-op) work term with the Aboriginal STEM Outreach Program, where she became a liaison between UVic’s Science Venture and Indigenous youth on Vancouver Island.
