– Celebrating First Nation Women in Science

Jessica Kolopenuk, of the Peguis First Nation , earned her PhD at the University of Victoria. As an assistant professor in the Faculty of Native Studies at the University of Alberta, she co-founded and co-led the Indigenous Science, Technology, and Society research and training program, and the Summer Internship Program for Indigenous Peoples in Genomics Canada. The programs ensure that Indigenous peoples participate in scientific research while governing its process and ends. Like those successful programs, Kolopenuk’s work is based on the contention that science is not neutral and objective. Rather, the political power relationship between Indigenous peoples and the Canadian state has always affected the manner in which research has been done, and the conclusions reached. Research related to science and technology must be decolonized. Cree concepts of the theory of science, technology and society, for example, must be a fundamental part of ethically based research involving Cree peoples.

Kolopenuk won the Canadian Science Policy Centre’s Youth Award of Excellence in 2018. She works with the Government of Canada and the National Geographic Society to create Indigenous-led, decolonized science policy.
