INTERSECTIONAL RECIPROCITY
Intersectional Reciprocity is a collective autoethnography conducted in collaboration with a BSW practicum student and Elder Roy Bear Chief. The project explores the student’s journey in engaging with traditional pathways toward becoming a Knowledge Keeper while deepening their allyship with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Simultaneously, it examines the supervisor’s reflective process of allyship with Indigenous communities through learning Blackfoot (Siksika) cultural teachings and practices.
