I am interested in researching Indigenous epistemologies and pedagogies in Canada with the goal of gaining government approval and recognition.

@juleemassee @kj_macleod I think you are correct, however I would also add to the mix Culture and not understanding the English language and it's nuances.

@Danleblanc14 @kj_macleod Thank you Dan. The intent was to work towards the retention of "Country Food" e.g., the traditional ways of gathering, harvesting, hunting, cooking and preparation of food - it is being lost to whole generations as Elders are dying.

@juleemassee @mendeley_com @kj_macleod I have used Mendeley and Zotero - both are good, however I found Zotero had a bit more to offer (highlighting etc.)- It does take some time to learn. Good luck Wes

@juleemassee @kj_macleod I think if I came to a new country to study and the costs are high - often double the tuition I would want to make sure I did well. I think there are 2 parts here: Canadian standards in English comprehension is not being taught prior to coming here.
