Light lunch served - All welc ome!\n\nWenona Hall and Adrienne Chan—Indigenous Youth and Land-based Re siliency\n\nIn our work with Seabird Island\, which is ongoing\, a Guiding Group (Elders\, youth\, knowledge holders\, Band workers\, research team members) charts the program of youth activities. Weekly activities are pla nned that expose youth to traditional teachings/activities as well as land stewardship responsibilities that are required for the continued existenc e of the Nation. Youth are also examining their youth culture and identify ing their own goals to create spaces for belonging and contributing. Youth are taking pictures of themselves and their surrounding as they engage in the process of discovering who they are as youth\, Indigenous youth\, Sea bird youth. This fall\, the youth will assemble these pictures into a digi tal story that describes Who they are\, which will be shared with family a nd community as a platform for further discussion and work. As youth conne ct with their community and the land\, they connect with\, and participate in the creation of\, their future. Our work is grounded in Indigenous met hodologies.\n\nCindy Jardine—Partnering with Indigenous Youth as Co-Rese archers\n\nInvolving youth directly in research ensures true participation in the investigation of health issues that affect them and others in thei r communities\, and provides them with a ‘voice’ in both identifying r elevant issues and determining appropriate courses of action. Viewing heal th issues through their children’s eyes is seen by the communities as a powerful and effective means of creating awareness of health issues\, and initiating actions for health and cultural promotion. The youth co-researc hers also develop research and leadership skills\, a more critical underst anding of health challenges facing their community and a sense of ownershi p of the research.\n\n \;\n\nSponsored by and with the generous suppor t of UFV Office of Research &\; UFV College of Arts\n\nFor more informa tion contact Melissa.Walter@ufv.ca or Alex.Wetmore@ufv.ca CATEGORIES:*_UFV Events,Advising,College of Arts,Donors and friends,Indigenous Student Centre,Research and Graduate Studies,Research Events,Theatre LOCATION:UFV U House (F125)\, 33844 King Road\, Abbotsford\, BC\, Canada GEO:49.0288741;-122.28570969999998 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=33844 King Road\, Abbotsfor d\, BC\, Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=UFV U House (F125):geo:49.02887 41,-122.28570969999998 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Vancouver X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Vancouver BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20170312T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
