We are pleased to announce that the December submission in Directions comes from Dr. John G. Hansen, a member of the Opaskwayak Cree Nation. “Canada's Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) and the imperative for a more inclusive perspective” draws upon Indigenous perceptions of the inquiry and analyses of social norms and stereotypes in order to explore the conflicting positions and experiences associated with missing and murdered Indigenous people in Canada.
Born and raised in the Northern community of Thompson, Manitoba, Dr. John G. Hansen is a member of the Opaskwayak Cree Nation. He has been a correctional officer, school teacher and a lecturer at the University College of the North.
