Dr. Jacqueline Ottmann, President of the First Nations University of Canada presents: zoongide’ewin (resilience), ahkamêyimok (persist): demonstrations of resilience and persistence over time.
In this presentation, Dr. Jacqueline Ottmann describes and provides a historical overview and future projection of reconciliation based on the concepts of resilience and persistence from a First Nation (Saulteaux) perspective. Resilience and persistence are the 'building blocks' for enduring relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, and for deep-seated educational and economic reconciliation.
The Rural Development Network and Portage College are pleased to host The Indigenous Resiliency Speaker Series, with special thanks to Pembina Pipeline Corporation and CN for supporting the series.
