Stitching Our Stories Together: Journeys Into Indigenous Social Work

A collection of graduate research by emerging Indigenous social work scholars. Between its covers, Stitching Our Stories Together highlights the research of Indigenous graduate students from universities across Canada. Focusing on their own nations, communities, and individual realities, these academics demonstrate how Indigenous epistemologies can challenge settler ideas and myths around pan-Indigeneity. This collection is bookended with reflections from the scholars' thesis supervisors, who describe their philosophy of mentoring and supporting students through an Indigenous lens, and how their pedagogies embrace the significance of relationality in Indigenous worldviews. By celebrating the work of Indigenous researchers, Stitching Our Stories Together points toward a future where Indigenous ways of knowing and being take their rightful place in the halls of higher learning and beyond.
