Indigenous Research Assistants: 
Borders Hide the Horizon Red Paper

Borders Hide the Horizon examines how Indigenous nations have long understood territory, kinship, mobility, diplomacy, and belonging beyond the borders of settler states. Through essays, research, art, and public education, the project asks what Indigenous internationalisms reveal about borders, migration, citizenship, displacement, and sovereignty in Canada and across the world.

This Red Paper project is led by Dr. Megan Scribe,
Education Director at Yellowhead Institute.

About the Role

With support from a research assistant (RA), the project team will advance research that informs the Red Paper and
Dr. Megan Scribe’s writing and analysis.
