“There can never really be justice on stolen land” – An Indigenous Methodology Approach to Police Violence

Delve deeper into what solidarity looks like in research, education, clinical care and community practice among various groups. We begin with Zoë Harris, PhD candidate from the Division of Community Health Sciences from the UIC School of Public Health, who will spotlight solidarity with Black and Indigenous communities and will introduce Indigenous methodology by using police violence as a case study to further explore how to engage with Indigenous methodology when using secondary data.

The goal of this talk is to provide a basic understanding of Indigenous methodology, elaborate via a case study how Indigenous methodology can be applied to multiple methods and collectively reflect on how Indigenous methodology can continue to be used in innovative ways, in research and beyond.

Harris also will engage the group in a guided plant medicine activity where participants will learn about the gifts of plants, tea as medicine and what it means to be in relationship with plants.
