My name is Jennifer Anaquod and I am from Muscowpetung Saulteaux First Nation in Saskatchewan and grew up as a grateful guest on Musqueam territory. I completed my B.Ed in NITEP (Indigenous teaching education program) at UBC in 2007. From there I went on to become an instructor at Native Education College in Vancouver. I completed a Early Years Diploma at UBC in 2013 and an M.Ed in Curriculum in Leadership in 2015. I began my PhD studies in 2015. The research I am engaging looks at what Indigenous students attending Indigenous post-secondary institutes consider success. More specifically, I am interested in how this knowledge will help improve the educational journeys of Indigenous institutes. Other interests include how story, place-based education and Indigenous ways of knowing and pedagogy inform our practice as instructors.
