POP 1: What does it mean to be Presenting our Presence (POP)?

Florence Glanfield, Vice-Provost (Indigenous Programming & Research), and Cindy Gaudet (assistant professor and Canada Research Chair in Métis Relations & Land-based Wellness, Campus Saint-Jean) discuss how POP emerged from Florence’s weekly Virtual Teas during the pandemic. They share why being present to one another supports their living experiences and interrupts colonial erasure. Their conversation recognizes generations of Indigenous knowledge holders, collaborative leadership and community care.
