Welcome to At the Edge of Canada: Indigenous Research

At the Edge of Canada: Indigenous Research is dedicated to amplifying the voices of Indigenous researchers and shedding light on the invaluable work being done to support Indigenous peoples and communities. Through interviews, discussions, and current affairs, this blog serves as a platform for Indigenous scholars and researchers to share their insights, experiences, and expertise.

Our goal is to deepen understanding about Indigenous issues and challenges, and to provide valuable resources for anyone looking to learn more. Whether you're a student, educator, or simply someone who wants to gain a better understanding of the diverse world of Indigenous research, this blog will offer a unique perspective on the intersection of culture, knowledge, and contemporary issues.

We address the questions often asked by the wider public, such as “What is Indigenous?” and work to provide clear, nuanced answers. Through thoughtful discussions and highlighting key research, we strive to inspire and inform our readers, helping to bridge the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities.

By sharing these stories, we aim to contribute to a broader conversation about reconciliation, knowledge sharing, and the importance of honoring Indigenous perspectives in all areas of study.
