Cultural knowledge plays an important role in the development of identity. Join Lakehead University’s Denise Baxter, Vice-Provost, Aboriginal Initiatives, as she shares her journey through the education system and connects this to the ways in which she has learned her cultural knowledge. 

As an educator for over 25 years, Denise has worked from within educational systems to affect change and worked to Indigenize and decolonize educational systems to ensure that learners have opportunities to connect with their own identities in the process of learning. Join Denise Baxter at the Mary J.L. Black Library on Saturday, Sept. 28 at 2 pm.

The Hudson’s Bay Company was the local general store for a number of Indigenous groups. Furs and pelts were traded for a wide variety of European commodities. Indigenous traders bought only goods that they wanted. Dr. Carlos will discuss the role consumer satisfaction played in the organization, operation, and success of the fur trade, and argue that satisfaction of Indigenous traders and groups was paramount.
