Fireside with Lyndon: Dr. Kathy Walker

Join us for another Fireside with Lyndon at Remai Modern as we celebrate and acknowledge National Indigenous History Month with special guest Dr. Kathy Walker.

Dr. Kathy Walker (wiya*/she) is nêhiyaw iskwêw and grew up on the Okanese First Nation in Treaty Four territory. She is a proud mother, auntie and kokum (great aunt) who has spent most of her professional life working in government, academia and for non-profits. A lifelong learner, she holds multiple degrees, including master’s degrees in business administration and political science, as well as a PhD in Political Science. Most recently, Dr. Walker worked in academia as an Assistant Professor in Political Studies at the University of Saskatchewan.

She is an OCAP certified researcher with the First Nations Information Governance Centre and her research and work is informed by her lived experience and commitment to advancing public education, policy and community development grounded in truth, reconciliation and the resurgence of Plains Indigenous governance, including Treaty understanding as recorded by First Nation oral traditions, histories and kisêyiniwak or ‘Elders.’

Dr. Walker also is currently working to learn nêhiyawêwin (the Plains Cree language).
