The RAVEN Essays

“The RAVEN Essays are directed at anyone with an interest in Indigenous interdisciplinary research with a community-oriented perspective. The book is absolutely (without doubt) a collection that is much greater than the sum of its parts. As with the introductory chapters, the closing chapter illuminates the critical importance of the contributions, and the origins (the RAVEN essays) behind the project.” -- Veldon Coburn, Associate Professor, Faculty of Public Administration and Governance and Faculty Chair, Indigenous Relations Initiative, McGill University “The RAVEN Essays is an excellent read. I appreciated, so much, the voices of the students. I can see this work being provided to the administration of universities that are addressing changes to curriculum and pedagogy that respects Indigenous research methodologies and scholarship. I can also see leadership and policy analysts needing this information for the work that they do in community.” -- Dr. Beverley Jacobs (Mohawk Nation), CM, Associate Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Windsor “The chapters in this book reflect each author's personal voice and approach to writing. They are not uniform in tone or mode: some use a classic scholarly voice while others use a more autobiographical approach to scholarship, which I think is a good thing. This book will resonate with students and scholars of Indigenous studies, Indigenous governance, and Indigenous law, among others.” -- Damien Lee, Associate Professor, Faculty of of Sociology and Canada Research Chair in Biskaabiiyang and Indigenous Political Resurgence, Toronto Metropolitan University
