Dawn Hoogeveen is a research associate in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University.
Max Ritts is an assistant professor in the Graduate School of Geography at Clark University.
Susan Smitten is an award-winning filmmaker and writer; she is retired from her role as the executive director of RAVEN (Respecting Aboriginal Values and Environmental Needs).
The anthology also includes contributions from prominent scholars such as Glen Coulthard, Dara Culhane, Michael Fabris, Sarah Hunt, and Heather Dorries. Five complementary essays explore various aspects of structural change, institutional constraints, and broader commitments to Indigenous knowledge within university settings. Aimed at readers in Indigenous law, environmental studies, anthropology, and geography, The RAVEN Essays is a book created by students for students, and by academics for the academy.
Together, the contributors reflect on the powerful formation and enactment of Indigenous law, environmental stewardship, place-based knowledge, pedagogy, and literacy – both within the academy and in the broader community, across land, water, and culture.
