“Anishinaabe Enawendiwin”

Dr. Nicholas J. Reo

Assistant Professor, Environmental Studies and Native American Studies,

Dartmouth College

Abstract: For researchers working in Indigenous territories, being effective allies requires strong, authentic relationships with Indigenous nations and peoples. But what exactly is the connection between these relationships and “the work”, and how do we build authentic relationships if they do not already exist? This presentation connects lessons from a series of past and current research partnerships with Anishnaabe understandings of kinship (Enawendiwin) and other forms of Anishnaabe ethical knowledge for insights into university-Indigenous research partnerships.
