The Connected North program of TakingITGlobal fosters
student engagement and enhanced education outcomes in
re
mote Indigenous communities.
As Social Connectedness Fellow, Emma Greenfield partnered with
TakingITGlobal to document the barriers that Indigenous students
face in post-secondary institutions as well as the hopeful
practices that support First Nations, Métis, Inuit, and Afro-
Indigenous students.
As someone of mixed First Nations and European identity,
Emma's sense of belonging was greatly supported in
post-
secondary education by Indigenous staff, faculty, and spaces.
