Vanessa Watts will examine the experiences of Indigenous individuals sent to the Mohawk Institute Residential School and the nearby Hamilton Mountain Sanatorium, bringing together and ‘re-neighbouring’ members of two disparate communities affected by colonialism.
Vanessa Watts is exploring what reconciliation looks like outside of state-informed processes, helping to create forward-looking, intergenerational connections between Inuit and Haudenosaunee communities.
Vanessa Watts is amplifying Indigenous expertise and voices, and supporting Indigenous students in higher education.
