In this episode of the HERHealth Podcast, we spotlight Dr. Gabrielle Weasel Head’s powerful AVA webinar, “Reclaiming a Sovereign Imagination: Meaningful Assessment in Higher Education from a Blackfoot Perspective.”

Dr. Weasel Head (Tsapinaaki), a member of the Kainaiwa Nation and Associate Professor in Indigenous Studies at Mount Royal University, offers a transformative vision for assessment rooted in Indigenous knowledge systems. Drawing from Blackfoot worldviews, she challenges dominant academic paradigms and invites educators, researchers, and institutions to reimagine how we relate to knowledge, learning, and one another.

This episode explores:

• How cultural paradigms shape our understanding of knowledge and reality

• The limitations of Eurocentric assessment models in post-secondary education

• What meaningful, relational, and ethical assessment can look like from a Blackfoot perspective

• How to begin creating space for Indigenous ways of knowing in institutional contexts

Join us for a critical and inspiring conversation that urges us to rethink the foundations of education through the lens of sovereignty, transformation, and inclusion.
