Harmony Nadjiwon

Harmony Nadjiwon is the Professor of Indigenous Curriculum Development at Centennial College. A proud member of the Chippewas of Nawash First Nation, Harmony has a rich heritage that blends her Oneida (matrilineal) and Ojibway (patrilineal) roots. Deeply committed to the belief that we are all both teachers and learners, she is guided by the understanding that our interconnectedness with all living things shapes the way we move through the world. Embracing the principle of Two-Eyed Seeing, Harmony approaches every aspect of her life with a balance of Indigenous and Western worldviews. As a mother to 8-year-old twin boy/girl children, she views her work as an act of reverence for the seven generations who came before her and as a gift, she will leave for the seven generations yet to come.

Thank you for taking the time to join our LSAC community today. Before we begin, we would like to pause to intentionally express our gratitude for the land we are on today and to all the Indigenous Peoples past, present and future that have and continue to be stewards of these lands. We recognize that moving forward we are mutually responsible for the caretaking and preservation of this land for future generations.

We commit to co-creating an accountable space. In our LSAC community, we are committed to creating an accountable space where we welcome individual growth, learning, and unlearning. In this space, we recognize and gently remind one another that we are all tender humans with our own stories and experiences, both positive and negative. We aim to lead with kindness, openness, and patience as we identify and break down barriers to create a safer space for us all.
