Niigaaniin, an Indigenous social services and community development organization, has undertaken a self-directed process of decolonization within seven First Nations. This has involved four community-engaged and Indigenous-led research projects and the consequent implementation of re-imagined social services and community development programs. Told as a story, Niigaaniin leaders and collaborators will describe these research projects, the insights they have provided, and the decolonial changes they are inspiring.
The Canadian Sociological Association thanks the Environmental Studies Association of Canada for co-sponsoring this event.
