Research summary


Dr. Pierrot Ross-Tremblay (Innu Essipit), Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Intellectual Traditions and Self-Determination, researches how to preserve and make accessible the richness of Indigenous stories, testimonies and interpretations, in particular those of the Elders. His work supports First Peoples’ self-determination in research and narrative sovereignty so they can independently restore their cultural memories and gain control of their historical narratives to better access the legal and intellectual traditions that these memories convey.
