There was a Q&A and discussion after his presentation which focused on:

  • Framing innovation through Indigenous rights and Nationhood.
  • The role of Section 35, UNDRIP, and the TRC Calls to Action as guiding design principles.
  • Case studies from Creative Fire and the Des Nedhe Group on community-owned enterprise and economic reconciliation.
  • Practical questions for students to apply in their future work in corporate Canada.

Thank you very much Jordan!  We sincerely appreciate your time and sharing your knowledge with our Advertising students!

You are welcome back to OCAD U anytime!
