What stayed with many participants after the University of Regina's recent delegation to Ecuador was not a particular meeting, signed agreement, or presentation. It was the feeling of people caring for one another across languages, nations, and territories, and the power of global solidarity among Indigenous researchers.
Over the course of the North-South Dialogues on Indigenous and Decolonial Research in the Americas trip, a 20-member delegation made up of faculty members, Indigenous graduate students, and Elders from the University of Regina and the First Nations University of Canada, connected with nearly 200 Indigenous researchers, Knowledge Keepers, students, and community leaders in Ecuador.
