Karen Pheasant-Neganigwane is an Anishinaabe scholar. Karen’s path to activism and scholarly work started as a youth during the height of the civil rights era of the ’70s. The social project of Rochdale college (Toronto) led with “idealism, artistic spirit and free speech” provided the embryonic opening for her inquisitive spirit. Shortly after the engaging ceremony with a great Indigenous philosopher and scholar – Dr. Joe Couture – in the early '80s she left Toronto. She has spent the past forty years being mentored by iconic Indigenous scholars from the Great Lakes of her people to Treaty three, Treaty six and currently in Treaty seven. Her Western education includes B.A. in Political Science and English Literature, and graduate studies in Educational Policy Studies from the University of Alberta. Karen is currently working on her doctorate, on the topic of Indigenous pedagogy and higher learning.
