ABSTRACT
Nathalie: Originally from France, I moved to Canada in 1994. I was at that time interested in Aboriginal storytelling. While on a trip to the United States, I was invited to attend a ceremony that introduced me to a different way of knowing. While developing strong ties to the land and its people, I also developed a strong interest in learning about respectful ways of researching Native knowledge. My collaboration with Norman started when I was a doctoral student at the University of Alberta. I am now an associate professor at the University of Manitoba; my role as a university researcher has been shaped by our ongoing friendship and research collaboration.
