  • Unbroken: My Fight for Survival, Hope, and Justice for Indigenous Women and Girls

    Angela Sterritt is an award-winning Gitxsan journalist who shares her memoir alongside investigative reporting into numerous missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in Canada. She shares the reality of the violence facing many Indigenous women in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside and around BC’s Highway of Tears. Sterritt’s book not only educates about the devastating impact of ongoing colonization and racism on Indigenous women but also the courage and strength of Indigenous women. If you can read only one book about missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, this would be a very good choice.

Decolonizing and Indigenizing teaching and learning in the School’s Bachelor of Social Work and Field Education programs

Welcome to the Indigenous Resurgence Project. Our goal is to provide teaching and learning resources for Indigenizing and decolonizing curriculum, resources to support Indigenous social work students, and to begin to build relationships with Indigenous communities and services.  

This website is dedicated to the memory of Doris Fox whose endless support and guidance made this project possible. She will be loved forever and missed deeply.

Raven transforming into a human child

The design depicts Raven transforming into a human child. All along the coast, Raven is seen to be the most magical of beings with the ability to shapeshift into anything at will. The most frequent form Raven takes is that of a human. Raven’s adventures create much of what we have around us: land, sea, mountains, lakes, and rivers. People acquire knowledge of life and living, through the teachings associated with Raven’s adventures and misadventures. Raven inadvertently creates much knowledge by making mistakes, as well as through intentional knowledge-seeking.
