  • Summary

  • Maw-lukutinej is a Mi'kmaw phrase that means "let's work together". This podcast emerges at the intersection of university-community research relationships between Grenfell Campus, Memorial University in Corner Brook and Mi'kmaw communities in the Bay St. George Region on the island of Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland). ************************************************************************ SERIES ONE is set as a conversational discussion over a cup of tea with presenters Brady Reid, Elder Calvin White, and Kelly Anne Butler. They mix personal stories with lessons learned from a collaborative research project with Flat Bay. Topics discussed include some history of Mi'kmaq in western Newfoundland, the establishment and registration process of the Qalipu Mi'kmaq First Nation, challenges faced by the community of Flat Bay and the Flat Bay Mi'kmaq Band, and important considerations and responsibilities for researchers working with Indigenous communities. Season one was created and hosted by Brady Reid; engineered and edited by Ivan J. White; produced by Dr. Kelly Vodden. Special thank you to guests Elder Calvin White and Kelly Anne Butler, and to Evan Butler and Pamela Gill for help!
