Powwow as Pedagogy: Educator Panel
Powwow remains a site of important cultural resurgence for First Nations across Canada, with countless gatherings occurring across the Great Lakes region. However, the role movement and dance play as a form of knowledge creation and can operate as a pedagogical framework continues to be underrepresented and marginalized within educational studies. Panelists will share their stories and experiences in challenging these narratives and offer insights into how Indigenous movements and pedagogies can foster critical consciousness for First Nations dancers, families and communities alike.
