Christine Fiddler is from the Treaty Six territory of Waterhen Lake Cree Nation, Saskatchewan. She lives in Saskatoon with her daughter and son and remains connected to her home community, relations, and Cree cultural traditions. Christine holds a B.A. undergraduate degree in Honours English and a M.Ed. in Educational Foundations from the University of Saskatchewan and in Fall 2021 will be going into her 2nd year as a PhD student in the Department of History under the supervision of Dr. Cheryl Troupe. Her PhD research is exploring Indigenous understandings of health and healing as practiced by Nehiyaw (Cree) peoples living in northwest central Saskatchewan in 1921 to the 1970s, with an aim to answer the question: How have understandings of traditional knowledge and cultural practices related to health and healing changed as a result of treaty signing and the colonial practices that followed? While specific understandings of this history are held in the oral traditions of Elders from the Waterhen First Nation, this research will also include researching the oral traditions in Little Island Lake, Big Island Lake, Makwa Sahgaiehcan, Flying Dust, and Canoe Lake First Nations that have historically shared territory with Waterhen in northwest Saskatchewan. She runs a consulting business, Free the Spirit Consulting where she offers services as a facilitator, writer, researcher specifically on Indigenous Insights and personal development to a variety of organizations and communities. She believes that it is important to validate and include Indigenous worldviews, experiences, and stories in anything we do within not only First Nations people and communities, but everywhere, as it concerns all of Canadian society.
