Tatawow to MESC’s annual Nehiyawatisiwin Conference. This years conference theme is Kiskisototâmowin - Remembering. MESC’s planning committee was guided by the Circle of Elders to select the conference theme.
Autism in Indigenous communities is a highly underserved and under researched area. Drawing from his own personal experiences as a father to autistic children and as a PhD in Medical Sciences student who is researching autism in the community of Maskwacis, the speaker Grant Bruno, will weave together a story that includes both personal and academic evidence that will shed light on the realities of autism in Indigenous communities in Canada.
