Date & Time: Wednesday, October 23, 4:00pm - 6:00pm

Description: The Truth and Reconciliation Commission events in Vancouver support reconciliation between Aboriginal people and wider Canadian society.

How can the academy engage Aboriginal and Indigenous knowledge? What are some ways researchers at UBC - Indigenous and non-Indigenous - are using Indigenous methodologies and incorporating Indigenous knowledge? What challenges arise and how can we address them?
