Congratulations to Faith Decontie who has been awarded the Tammy Chen Memorial Scholarship 2023-2024 from the Canadian Centennial Scholarship Fund to support her doctoral research in Social Anthropology.
Faith is from Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg in Canada and is committed to addressing Indigenous systematic governance challenges, service delivery barriers, and discrepancies within the Canadian settler state. Faith's PhD research aims to advance Indigenising policy practices as a means of connecting First Nations community-based perspectives to Canadian Federal authoritative decision making practices that directly impact First Nations reserves. You can read more about Faith's research and her consultancy work here and learn about Honour Songs in a blog she has just published for the High Commission of Canada in the UK.
