In the face of global climate change, Mohawk educator and pedagogical consultant Kanerahtiio Hemlock asks, “How do small communities respond and adapt?” Acknowledging that there is no one right answer, Kanerahtiio explains that for traditional Native people, the path is clear: “We have to return to our own ways.” In this workshop, Kanerahtiio speaks to what he has learned while developing a class on Indigenous self-sustainability, and how exploring the ways his people taught their children in the past—and what that teaching might look like today—has guided this educational work.
Speaker
Kanerahtiio Hemlock, a Mohawk from Kahnawake, has taught native history for the past thirteen years at the First Nations Regional Adult Education Center. During that time, he had developed a course on Indigenous self-sustainability that won the 2018 Ken Spencer national award for innovation in teaching. Since 2023 he has also worked part time at Dawson College as the Indigenous Pedagogical Consultant.
