Indigenous Knowledge Keeper enlightens NOSM students

The Centre for Indigenous Initiatives recognizes the significant need for linkages between Indigenous and Western knowledge, as well as the importance of passing such knowledge on to those who will keep those teachings for future generations. For questions about the Knowledge Keepers Program, contact us. Over the years, Carleton University has invited these knowledge keepers to campus to share their incredible wisdom and traditional knowledge.

That year, both Elders came to campus nearly two dozen times to share in their traditional knowledge, and to assist students in their unique and challenging academic endeavors.

Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers

The Centre for Indigenous Initiatives is excited to continue to share in the cultural enrichment and support provided through the Knowledge Keepers Program. Since retirement, Paul has embarked on a journey of cultural rebirth. He has engaged in an active pursuit of knowledge based on teachings shared by Elders and Traditional Teachers from various First Nations on Turtle Island. Unfortunately, I just hadn't completed building out the game and so the door really just leads to nothing.

Ironically, I had spent way too much time on the movement. While the idea of having all the tools and discovering how to better use them to overcome "impossible challenges" is great, it seems that either I am a complete fool or you didn't really teach me how to do basic things before sending me in to fight a boss.

I tried to just surrender myself to the creature, but it seems that it cannot harm me, so maybe it's just a bug? Unfortunately, the game is extremely unfinished at its current state.

Ceremony Teachings with Knowledge Keeper Debbie Huntinghawk

Students prepared for their interviews with the Knowledge Keepers by creating a list of interview questions. Then, over the next two months, students interviewed the Knowledge Keepers, participated in discussions about Indigenous issues, and learned about some of the specific gifts, talents, and traditional knowledge each of the Knowledge Keepers offered.

  2. The Knowledge Keepers Project Respecting Indigenous Peoples by keeping knowledge alive.
  3. Indigenous Engagement.
  4. We worked together organizing schedules and provided whatever support was required to ensure the Knowledge Keepers' comfort and confidence in this heartwarming project. Understandably, many of the Knowledge Keepers were somewhat uncomfortable in the school environment because of the history of residential schools. It really altered my view of Canadian history.

    I also appreciated their views on love, perseverance, compassion, and importance of life itself. As a photographer, I admire the work of master Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh, and encourage my students to study his unique lighting style. I want my students to become aware of his strong lighting techniques that show high contrast and reveal sharp detail.
