I have provided links to all of my open access publications in the “Publications” section of this website. For those academic articles that are not yet open access, I included their citations, as many are accessible through libraries and universities.
Selected Public Inquiries and Reports
I have also included several lists of public resources related to Indigenous peoples in Canada that every Canadian (and American) should read. These reports contain significant historical and current fact-based information, findings and recommendations about how to address the gross injustices faced by Indigenous peoples. Please feel free to contact me if you think there are other significant reports, inquiries or resources that should be added to this list. Check out my publications for even more material, including this amazing resource: Whose Land is it Anyway? A Manual for Decolonization which includes chapters from Kanahus Manuel, Russ Diabo, Taiaiake Alfred, Sharon Venne and I, along with many others.
