Starting a Conversation with Dante Carter: Nanâtawihowin (Healing & Finding Place) through Economic Self-Determination

January 29 at 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Please join Dante Carter for the next Starting the Conversation!

Topic

This study explores the relationship between economic abuse, wellbeing, and economic self-determination among nêhiyawak women and Two-Spirit individuals in Onion Lake. Inspired by personal experiences growing up in the community, the research investigates how participants navigate economic abuse to foster wellbeing and identifies protective factors that support healing. Drawing on literature about gender-based violence—particularly economic abuse as a form of intimate partner violence (IPV)—as well as historic and present-day economic influences, the study aims to deepen understanding of the connections between economic challenges and nêhiyawak wellbeing. This work highlights the resilience and self-determination of Indigenous women and Two-Spirit individuals.
