I began the first class with a sharing circle, as I experienced myself from an Indigenous chief at the EECOM conference near Cranbrook in fall 2018. We stood in a circle, and I introduced myself to the first student (and vice versa). Then I moved to the next student, and we introduced ourselves to each other. Then the first student followed me, introducing herself to the second student while I met the third student. In this way, over the course of about 10 minutes, everyone in the class had met (and often had a great conversation) with everyone else - BIOQ 1099

For the future:

I would love to work with Melinda Bige in Indigenous Studies (we’ve had one conversation already), and perhaps others, to work toward indigenizing the science curriculum and KPU.
