Facilitator(s) Bio
Jennifer Narcisse is a writer, storyteller, instructor, and researcher; however, her favorite moments are when she is with elders and hearing about their old ways, or when she is right on the land fishing or harvesting berries. She is also a lover of words and how they are used to construct and deconstruct worlds and world views. She analyzes everything from word choice, point of view, focalization, how people verbally respond to various questions and situations – it’s all fascinating to her! In this time of reconciliation, she focuses on sharing Aboriginal worldviews, and she does this through an inductive method that includes storytelling, reader response and “checking yourself” on those responses – learning about different ideologies through storytelling.Connecting with our theme ABE is Heartwork, Jennifer will give us teaching focused insights into culture-based resilience, student support, and reconciliation.
