I wrote a chapter about solidarity, care, and how becoming a mom made me mad about my Indigenous kid not being able to access cultural knowledge that belongs to him. Virtual book launch on Monday! libraryjuice.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

When I meet with students about their research, I try hold what else this question competing with. A deadline, personal stuff, childcare, classes, health...so many things are more important than the research question. That doesn't devalue it; it just puts it into perspective.

I didn't know Robyn well, but I am sad to see her passing. There are not that many Indigenous librarians and for years, I admired the the work she was doing in Thunder Bay to make the library more welcoming and encourage them to hear what people need. www.blakefuneralchapel.com/obituaries/o...

This talk was such a tour de force. Making the connection between âniskôhôcikan (stringing beads) and âniskotapan (great grandparents/children) in the ways that non-linear time connects them closely. Chelsea is the best.

I see a lot of students working on projects and rarely get to enjoy the end result - but today was the Faculty of Native Studies Research Day and all day long I got to appreciate all this brilliant work!

Off to Edmonton for a new job at UAlberta! The rare chance to be an Indigenous academic working in my home territory. I'll miss Calgary! I started at MRU in 2012, a goofy Native kid pretending to be a grownup, but so many people mentored me and said the quiet parts out loud.

thrilled to see sandy littletree + nicola andrews + jessie loyer's beautiful piece on indigenous information literacy out in this issue where they connect our relationship to the land, ownership of information, and the ethics of sharing stories that aren't ours: doi.org/10.11645/17....
