    Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory September 2017 CAUT Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory September 2017 The following document offers the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) recommended territorial acknowledgement for institutions where our members work, organized by province. While most of these campuses are included, the list will gradually become more complete as we learn more about specific traditional territories. When requested, we have also included acknowledgements for other post-secondary institutions as well. We wish to emphasize that this is a guide, not a script. We are recommending the acknowledgements that have been developed by local university-based Indigenous councils or advisory groups, where possible. In other places, where there are multiple territorial acknowledgements that exist for one area or the acknowledgements are contested, the multiple acknowledgements are provided.

    RUNNING HEAD: REDEFINING EDUCATION THROUGH ANISHINAABE PEDAGOGY REDEFINING EDUCATION THROUGH ANISHINAABE PEDAGOGY: A JOURNEY TO CLARIFY HOW ABORIGINAL EDUCATION BROUGHT ME TO ANISHINAABE PEDAGOGY BY REBECCA CHARTRAND A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba In partial fulfillment of the requirement of the degree of MASTER OF EDUCATION Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning Faculty of Education University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2016 by Rebecca Chartrand REDEFINING EDUCATION THROUGH ANISHINAABE PEDAGOGY i ABSTRACT Using a bifocal, place conscious Anishinaabe-Western/Euro-Canadian lens, the evolution of Aboriginal education is examined from a personal and professional perspective. Meaning surfaces from the lived-experiences of the author, an Anishinaabe woman, educator, parent, community member and Aboriginal education specialist, and what continues to unfold at national, provincial and local levels as “Aboriginal education” with an emphasis on what is taking place in south central Manitoba. The thesis highlights the resurgence of Indigenous ways of knowing, teaching and learning, specifically Anishinaabe pedagogy, and identifies goals for education from an Anishinaabe lens that looks beyond academic success to pedagogical tools that can help restore wellness and well-being for all Canadians. Keywords: Aboriginal education, Anishinaabe pedagogy, Indigenous, First Nations, Me tis, Inuit REDEFINING EDUCATION THROUGH ANISHINAABE PEDAGOGY ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I dedicate this thesis to my daughter Syrena who has grown up a great deal since I began this thesis journey in 2007. Syrena I hope you find something nourishing within these pages that gives you strength, hope and a sense of place in the world as an Anishinaabe Me tis woman.
