SUMMARY:The Agreements that Allow Us to Care for Each Other – Aggie Open Invited Speaker\, Jessie Loyer
DESCRIPTION:The UC Davis Library’s AggieOpen Invited Speaker Series addresses important issues in Open Education and allows speakers to share their research with a broader audience. Our 2025 Invited Speaker\,  Indigenous Engagement Librarian Jessie Loyer\, will explore the history of Open Access and draw upon histories of caretaking in her talk\, “The Agreements that Allow Us to Care for Each Other.” \n“In this time of rising fascism\, white supremacy\, and dehumanization\, practitioners of open pedagogies can ask ourselves: what agreements have shaped the caring impulse behind our work? How do agreements such as treaty-making between Indigenous nations and nation-states inscribe intergenerational caretaking? How can we learn from our predecessors’ choices to build connections that allow us to survive and thrive?” \nJoin us during this year’s Open Education Week as Jessie considers these questions alongside participants through her scholarship on Indigenous relationality in digital spaces\, Open Education\, and digital kinship.  \nAbout the Speaker: Jessie is Cree-Métis and a member of Michel First Nation. She is the Indigenous Engagement Librarian at the University of Alberta in Calgary and a guest on Treaty 7 and Blackfoot territory. Her research examines Indigenous perspectives on information literacy\, supports language revitalization\, and creates ongoing research relationships using the nêhiyaw minâ otipêmisiw concept of kinship.

SUMMARY:Seeking âsokanihkew – a conversation about bridging 40 years of copyright and First Nation’s knowledge
DESCRIPTION:In the late 1980s\, Alexander Wolfe wanted to save his family and community oral tradition stories\, so he wrote a book called “Earth Elder Stories.” Harvey Knight from Muskoday First Nation assisted in the writing of the book.  \nHarvey will talk about the book’s history (why oral tradition was committed to print) and discuss how oral tradition stories should be used in libraries and communities now and in the future. Andrea Jonasson\, a Saskatchewan Polytechnic instructor\, will talk about her experience using the stories in her classroom. You can still catch our event recordings\, if you missed the registration.  \nParticipants are invited to bring their experiences with using traditional knowledge in the classroom.

SUMMARY:The Provocations of Indigenous Cultures within a Conference: Using Métissage to Explore the In/Compatibility of Indigenous Ways of Knowing with Open Education
DESCRIPTION:At OE Global 2023 Indigenous ways of knowing and being were a fundamental component of the conference design and organization. Indigenous and non-Indigenous organizers established a collaborative governance approach to foster partnership and mutual guidance throughout the planning and execution stages. \nIn this session\, Dawn Witherspoon\, Darrion Letendre\, and Robert Lawson will perform métissage to recount the design and implementation of\, and personal experiences with\, a conference program that reflected the concept of two-eyed seeing\, navigating Indigenous and non-Indigenous worldviews. We will explore the incompatibility and compatibility of Indigenous ways of knowing with the ontological and epistemological assumptions embedded into open education. A fundamental question we examine is how the braiding of conference stories can unearth the interplay of Indigenous (nêhiyawîhcikêwin Plains Cree) ways of knowing with the values and practices of open education.
