MIRI is beyond excited to celebrate IndigiNerd Alumni Laura Couchie (Anishinaabe Ojibwe, Red-tail Hawk Clan, Nipissing First Nation) as she begins an exciting new chapter in her academic journey.

During her time in the IndigiNerd Internship, Laura worked under the supervision of Dr. Christopher Anand on her project, “Technology in Indigenous Language Revitalization and Learning,” a topic she is deeply passionate about. She went on to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Onkwehonwe Languages from Six Nations Polytechnic, specializing in Mohawk.

We are thrilled to share that this September, Laura will begin her Master of Arts in Indigenous Language and Culture Education at the University of Hawaii.

We could not be prouder of Laura and all that she has accomplished. It is incredibly meaningful to see her passion for Indigenous languages continue to shape her academic journey and future work. We are honoured to have been part of her journey and cannot wait to see all that she will accomplish in this next chapter.

Congratulations, Laura!!!!
