About Richard  

 

 

Anishinaabe-Mindido (Big Man) Richard Jaques (Nanawin) is an Ojibwe Knowledge Keeper, whose motto is Maada'ookii (Share with Others).

Anishinaabe-Mindido is a proud member of the Ojibwe/Cree Nation, and an Elder in the Hudson/Nanawin Families and Polar River Indian Band in Treaty 5.   

My Ookomisan (grandmothers- grandmother) is Ojibwa/Cree from Poplar River First Nation, Manitoba; my Omishoomisan (grandfathers-grandmother) Chippewa from Fond Du Lac Indian Nation, Michigan USA.

I am a Anishinaabe Aadizookaan (traditional storyteller) and Indigenous Graduate Scholar in the Native Indigenous Education Program (NITEP BE.d) at the University of British Columbia.

He is a Adjunct Professor at Algoma Unversity instructing Turtle Island and the Indigenous World View courses.

My desire is to present instruction, advice, materials and resources that can be utilized by my peers, my students, friends and associates to enhance inclusive Indigenous subject matter in their future lessons.
