OPENING REMARKS: POLICING AND PUBLIC ORDER PANEL
Get PDFOn November 24, 2022, BC’s British Consul-General Thomas Codrington, delivered his opening remarks for panel four of the 2022 West Coast Security Conference. During his opening remarks, he highlighted some of the similarities between Canada and the United Kingdom (UK) in terms of the security challenges that both countries face. He also stated that the UK and Canadian governments are always seeking opportunities to share and learn from best practices, which makes the West Coast Security Conference an important event, as there can be a fruitful exchange in perspectives between practitioners and academics.

Keeoukaywin: Métis Kinship Visiting in Distinction Based Oral Health Research
Get PDFIndigenous methodologies (IM) center Indigenous ways of knowing, doing and being with an aim to generate culturally relevant and reciprocal knowledge translation. With the increase of Indigenous health researchers, Indigenous healthcare has begun to prioritize the self-determination of Indigenous Peoples as both primary knowledge makers and users who effect change. This interrupts current pan-Indigenous work that does not account for the diversity among sovereign nations and communities of First Nation, Inuit and Métis peoples in Canada, thus perpetuating settler-colonial erasure. This also calls attention to the persistent gap in literature that fails to reflect the demography of Indigenous Peoples in Canada. Métis people make up one third of the Indigenous population in Canada, yet their experiences go largely underrepresented. The paucity of Métis specific research spans across many health disciplines including oral health, hampering the health outcomes of Métis citizens.
As a Métis woman researcher guided by Métis values of relational and reciprocal learning, my research honors women as traditional caregivers and keepers of community wellbeing. I privilege the voices of 8 - 10 Métis women within my kinship network to co-create a deeper understanding of Métis oral health experiences in Alberta. A Métis-Cree research methodology, keeoukaywin, guides my relational approach to knowledge co-creation and translation.
This way of being in research contributes to a deepened understanding of Métis contexts impacting the oral health outcomes of Métis families. Highlighting such nuanced experiences and insights fosters the co-creation of Metis-specific kinship care and culturally safe strategies towards reducing oral health inequalities
Reconciling Libraries (& Librarians) For Truth and Reconciliation: Reviewing the Stacks, Revisiting the Past, To Benefit Our Future
Get PDFMy research addresses the importance of recognizing Indigenous Identity, specifically as it applies to reconciliation in libraries. Stereotypes learned about Indigenous peoples since colonization are what has been written about us from ‘others’ who are not Indigenous. I believe that if literature and knowledge sharing can form identities for ‘others’, then literature can be a tool for reconciliation within libraries. Indigenous identity can be reformed through literature by hearing what Indigenous voices say. I discuss how libraries can support reconciliation through research and building up Indigenous collections, what reconciliation means and how actions toward supporting Indigenous relationships can be done through library services.
Indigenous Well-being Through the Eyes of our Ancestors
Get PDFDespite some improvements in the health of Indigenous peoples in Canada, a significant gap in mental and physical health remains. Barriers include a lack of access; lack of Indigenous service providers; lack of culturally safe non-Indigenous service providers; racism and discrimination in the health care system; remaining trauma from colonization, residential schools and child welfa:re systems and ongoing acts of colonization.
Indigenous Knowledge Keepers (IKKs) are a repository of knowledge on Indigenous worldviews of health and well-being; however, their expertise is rarely respected or incorporated in mainstream medical and mental health programs. To address this discrepancy, my research asked IKKs to articulate their views on wellness. Through many conversations, IKKs shared rich stories, experiences and conceptualizations of wellness.
The researcher has processed eleven key themes so far from these research conversations:
“Wellness is Connection”;
“Reciprocal and active belonging is key to wellness”;
“Wellness is non-binary”;
“Relationships are lateral and non-binary”;
“Joy/vitality is key to wellness”;
“Adaptiveness consists of flexibility and steadfastness”;
“Respect for autonomy and tolerance for others”
“Resurgence”;
“Intentionality/Agency”;
“A state of accompaniment is key to wellness”, and
“Harmony is achieved through friendliness.”
The overarching theme of these conversations was the knowledge and influence of the teachings of ancestors. Guided by this persistent value, this presentation is titled after one participant’s statement: “Wellness is only through the eyes of our ancestors.
Gathering Our Medicine: Strengthening and Healing Relationships Between Indigenous Youth and their Kinship Circle
Get PDFLong held beliefs about “right” responses to human suffering that underpin the dominant mental health paradigm are Eurocentric and marginalize Indigenous worldviews, including definitions of wellness and beliefs about the aims of healing. Also to be noted is the fact that the mental health field has evolved to the exclusion of Indigenous ontologies and epistemologies resulting in ongoing subjugation and ethno-stress. Approaches characterized by superficial and reductionistic interpretations of symptoms further obfuscate understanding by the non-expert resulting in the ongoing disempowerment of Indigenous peoples, in particular, parents. For all these reasons, I contend that the dominant mental health paradigm is problematic for Indigenous peoples.
I propose an alternative way of seeing and responding to the impacts of intergenerational trauma, Gathering Our Medicine (GOM), that offers a more ethical response to the escalating mental health crisis that exists within Indigenous communities and families. GOM has an entry point to healing that invites questioning the very presuppositions that underlie long held and unquestioned beliefs about healing, wellness, and mental health. In this presentation, a concretely outlined protocol for healing was proposed entitled The Four Circles of Healing. Lessons learned through the creation and implementation of this community-based program, GOM, were also shared.

"The Harley Glossary"
[Ker 240, Gneuss 436]
HISTORY: A fragment (92 remaining leaves+ two dispersed single leaves) of an extensive and advanced alphabetical glossary (ABC [D] order) running from "A" to "F" and containing 5563 entries glossed in Latin and OE, about a third of the glosses being OE (Oliphant 1966:11-12); if it was ever completed it contained well over 20,000 items: Oliphant (1966: 12) estimates that it was once a third larger than the Corpus glossary. Written in the late 10c/ early 11c, most probably at Worcester, since it contains an early ME poem in Western dialect in the margins of ff. 16rv-17r (Stemmler 1977), perhaps in the hand of the 13c Worcester "Tremulous Hand" (Franzen 1991: 17, 73-74; Cooke 1997: 446). A contemporary "Celtic" gloss, 'corupeta' (guohi|oc), on f. 43r/2 (not in the hand of the main scribe) may also indicate a Western provenance (cf. Schlutter 1908: 521). The single hand responsible for the main text and secondary glosses was identified by Ker (Cat. lvii) as the same as that of BL Cotton Vespasian D. xv [246], ff. 102-21 (Amalarius, excerpts from "De ecclesiasticis officiis"), and Gneuss (List, no. 386) wondered if this hand did not also write BL Cotton Vespasian B. x [242], ff. 31-124 (Aethicus, "Cosmographia"), a book associated with Worcester. It appears to be a compiler's original copy, consisting of a core of earlier A-S glossary items as seen in the Corpus Glossary, Cambridge, Corpus Christi College MS. 144 [31] (Pheifer 197 4: xxxv-xxxvi) supplemented by original items culled from standard school texts (Cooke 1997a: 454-67).
Manuscript was used by John Joscelyn, Matthew Parker's librarian, who underlined and counted OE words on each page; his extracts from this manuscript are in Lambeth Palace MS 692, f. 34r. Came to the Harleian collection from Warburton in 1720, who according to Ker (Cat. 309) acquired it from William Howard of Naworth, along with Harley 2965 [271], Harley 3013 [272], Harley 3825 [276]. Two dispersed leaves containing "I" words are extant, both abstracted before the notations of Joscelyn; one leaf is at Oxford, Bodleian Lat. Misc. a. 3, f. 49 [392] and one leaf at Lawrence, Kansas, Kenneth Spencer Research Library Price MS P2A:1 [155]
