Rachel Sipler
Canada Research Chair & Assistant Professor, Memorial University of Newfoundland
Why are you involved on this project?
I want my research to have meaning far beyond the data I produce.
How does your work relate to Nunatsiavut?
Nunatsiavut has a wealth of knowledge that my research can benefit from and collaboratively contribute to.
What is your favourite outdoor activity?
Gardening, hiking, swimming.
What is your favourite place in the world?
I love going to the beach and can't pick just one. Sitting in the warm sun and staring at the ocean is so grounding and relaxing for me.
Dalhousie University operates in the unceded territories of the Mi’kmaw, Wolastoqey, and Peskotomuhkati Peoples. These sovereign nations hold inherent rights as the original peoples of these lands, and we each carry collective obligations under the Peace and Friendship Treaties. Section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982 recognizes and affirms Aboriginal and Treaty rights in Canada.
We acknowledge that the lands on which Memorial University’s campuses are situated are in the traditional territories of diverse Indigenous groups, and we acknowledge with respect the diverse histories and cultures of the Beothuk, Mi’kmaq, Innu, and Inuit of this province.
