There is power in a sense of place
People often have a place that holds special meaning for them. Whether it鈥檚 somewhere childhood memories were made or a serene spot that soothes their soul, place can have a profound impact on people鈥檚 lives.
Shared resources shape research
鈥淧ersonal success is not personal,鈥 says Blaise Bazuik, who will graduate this month with a BA Honours in Women鈥檚 Studies and speaks with enthusiasm about the support she has received from both the women鈥檚 studies community and the on-campus Indigenous community. She credits them for her academic and personal success.
New Audain professor Jackson 2Bears
When it comes to the Department of Visual Arts, Jackson 2Bears is not the typical Audain Professor of Contemporary Arts of the Pacific Northwest. Although he has yet to achieve the international reputation of previous Audain professors Rebecca Belmore, Michael Nicol Yahgulanaas and Nicholas Galanin, he is the first UVic alumnus to be appointed to the position.
Archeology field school
A dozen university students spent part of their summer exploring ancient First Nation villages in the Southern Gulf Islands and discovering 1,000 year old clam gardens on Russell Island 鈥 and earned course credit doing it. The UVic 鈥淎rchaelogy of the Salish Sea鈥 field school provided an opportunity to learn scientific methods and techniques and learn from and listen to Coast Salish Elders.
Indigenous mapping
Any map is only as good as the data with which it鈥檚 created. For the Cowichan Tribes, Google maps鈥攍ikely the most turned-to source of basic location information鈥攕howed empty, unused land where in fact hundreds of people, buildings, landmarks and other facilities reside.
New director, national milestone
Kundoqk, the Indigenous name of the new director of UVic鈥檚 School of Social Work, means 鈥渏ourneying over the mountain with belongings on my back.鈥 The name was gifted to her parents on their wedding day. In 1995, Jacquie Louise Green (Kundoqk鈥檚 European name) moved her two daughters and their household belongings from northern BC, over mountains and marine passages, to Victoria so she could pursue a BSW (1997) and MPA (2000) at UVic.
Indigenous celebration leaves legacy
The sound of drums reverberated in the centre of the UVic campus as four groups of Indigenous drummers and dancers approached Celebration Square (the quad) from the four corners of the campus. Representing the three distinct nations on Vancouver Island鈥擟oast Salish, Nuu-chah-nulth and Kwakwaka鈥檞akw鈥攁s well as visitors to the territory, the ceremonial entrance provided a powerful opening to the Indigenous Circle Celebration and dedication of a special podium for First Peoples House on June 3, as part of Congress 2013.
Indigenous law grad鈥檚 path
The law is in Katelyn Crabtree鈥檚 blood, as is her connection to UVic Law. Crabtree, who graduates this spring from the Juris Doctor program, is the fifth UVic Law alumnus in her immediate family.
Indigenous law graphic novel
Reaching back in time to correct past wrongs isn鈥檛 typically within the realm of legal literature, but a graphic novel created by the 番茄社区鈥檚 Indigenous Law Research Clinic is testing such new avenues in an effort to broaden understanding of Indigenous law鈥檚 complexity and legitimacy.
To Reunite To Honour To Witness
A unique exhibit of children鈥檚 paintings opens May 8 at the Legacy Arty Gallery, 鈥淭o Reunite To Honour To Witness.鈥 The exhibition is a collection of paintings created by children who attended the Alberni Indian residential School in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
