I had the privilege to work as an editor on two important articles by Crystal Gail Fraser that come out today for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. #cdnhist #envhist #indigenous #indigenoushistory

In the first, for @yegcityasmuseum.bsky.social, Fraser demonstrates why we need to think about residential school history in terms of forced labour. citymuseumedmonton.ca/2025/09/30/m... #cdnhist #yeg #indigenoushistory #everychildmatters #indigenous #labour

The second is Fraser and @jdunkin.bsky.social's intro to their new @nichecanada.bsky.social on the #envhist of residential and day schools in Canada. Read "Environmental History and the Work of Truth and Reconciliation" - niche-canada.org/2025/09/30/e... #cdnhist #indigenoushistory #indigenous

New book review by me! 👇

An old military maxim often attributed to Napoleon is “an army marches on its stomach” and I feel the same way that a university thinks via its library. The slow and steady financial diminution of research libraries and the librarians who staff them is, to me, a slow-rolling higher Ed catastrophe.

The Miramichi Fire was not the 1st #wildfire, of course, but it's usually the 1st in Canadian, North American, & even global lists of fires. With its bicentennial on 7 Oct, we'll have had 2 centuries of thinking, worrying, & writing about #forestfire.

Standing outside the gates of the Qu'Appelle Indian Residential School. This is a haunted, dark place. A 5-year-old taken through these gates had a lower chance of survival than a Canadian soldier fighting in WW2. The red dress and the orange shirt hang on the gates. We remember. #OrangeShirtDay

Today we are privileged to share Crystal Gail Fraser & @jdunkin.bsky.social's intro to their new series, Land, Memory, & Schooling: Environmental Histories of Colonial Education The series will run for at least 12 weeks & is still accepting submissions. niche-canada.org/2025/09/30/e... #envhist

New posts will go live on the NiCHE site on Tuesdays. Thank you to the Survivors, intergenerational Survivors, community members, and scholars who have contributed to the series so far. Please reach out if you would like to submit something.

Crystal Fraser and I are co-editing a series on environmental histories of Indian residential and day schools for @nichecanada.bsky.social. We chose to launch the series on Orange Shirt Day, in part, to remind historians of their responsibilities to Survivors and intergenerational Survivors.

“By considering archival outliers and invented ephemerals … this series argues for their potential to offer narratives that highlight the challenges of writing histories… If parts of a narrative cannot fit in the broader claims or arguments, does the narrative foundation still stand?”

I'm so excited for this upcoming @nichecanada.bsky.social blog series, which is edited by @nulybranch.bsky.social

Today @nulybranch.bsky.social introduce a new series in "Archival Outliers, Invented Ephemerals in Constructing Environmental Histories." niche-canada.org/2025/09/26/a... #envhist #archives

"For individuals, it can be easier to believe that technologies will come along to save the day than to believe in the possibility and necessity of transformative climate politics." - Mack Penner niche-canada.org/2025/01/31/c...

“Why does anyone think they'll uphold any of their side of any bargain that is made? They did nothing other than fight every single policy, and there are none of these policies now in any serious way.” My take on oilsands. @nationalobserver.com www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/24/n...

"It’s one of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s nation-building projects, but how will upgrades to the Port of Churchill in Manitoba transform the country? The CBC’s Karen Pauls explains its potential impacts on the economy, Indigenous communities and the environment." www.youtube.com/shorts/2x76B...

"Quebec did not have a comprehensive system of formal segregation such as the 'white’s only' signage in the southern United States, but it did have a history of slavery and pervasive anti-Black racism." - @stevenhigh.bsky.social niche-canada.org/2020/10/20/g... #envhist #cdnhist #parkhistory

Definitely also experiencing this this year — something has turned. The last times I have noticed large shifts: 2020-22, no one could function. 2017-18, a generational shift to a more anxious generation that led me to learn about trauma-informed teaching (which came in handy in 2020+)
