McGill Student Indigenous Studies Journal
The McGill Students’ Indigenous Studies Journal (formerly KANATA) is a McGill-based student support community that explores, shares, and provides learning opportunities for anyone interested in Indigenous Studies and highlights information on the various organizations, events, and ongoing initiatives that are of interest to the indigenous community. One of our primary activities is the development and production of a student-led annual interdisciplinary academic journal. This publication enables students to discuss and explore ways in which knowledge can be manifested and applied in the world outside of the classroom. In essence, our aims to improve relations between Native and non-Native people in North America through research and knowledge advocacy, both in the academic community and in the public realm.
