Dedication

Our Indigenous etextbook is dedicated to the memory of Reva Jewell – Clan Mother/advocate/social innovator/service provider of the Haudenosaunee.

On December 4, 2010, Reva Jewell showed Centennial College the pathway it needed to travel to engage and educate Indigenous learners. She taught us that everything we do must be rooted in seeking guidance and wisdom from chiefs, elders, traditionalists, and leaders from First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities to inform our planning and decision-making. Following her guidance we have held numerous gatherings that have led to the development and implementation of college plans in the areas of outreach, service, academics, space, and culture.
