Acting Indian: Reflections on Status, Citizenship & Belonging
Can our "authentic" understandings of citizenship and belonging be expressed through Canada's legislative framework?
YELLOWHEAD SCHOOL
In 2026, Yellowhead School welcomed our third cohort of the Misko Aki Knowledge Exchange (MAKE) – a program for Indigenous, Black, and racialized community helpers. This year’s theme was Hyperlocal Worlding, inspired by the far reach of neighbourhood organizing and the concept of ‘worlding’ coined by postcolonial scholar Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak.
An accessible platform for grounded perspectives and compelling ideas on Indigenous issues in Canada.
