Dawn Martin-Hill (Mohawk, Wolf Clan) holds a PhD in Cultural Anthropology and is one of the original founders of the Indigenous Studies Program at McMaster University. She resides at Six Nations with her family. She has been publishing Indigenous knowledge research since 1992. Her book Indigenous Knowledge & Power: the Lubicon Lake Nation (1997) documents the human impact of oil and forestry extraction in northern Alberta. She has numerous peer-reviewed publications in Journal of Aboriginal Health, NAHO and chapters in books including In the Way of Development, Strong Women Stories and Women’s Spiritual Traditions. She founded the Haudenosaunee Environmental Health Task Force to build community infrastructure of environmental health research located on Six Nations, and to explore how Indigenous families’ wellness is impacted by lack of access to clean water. All research is dedicated to upholding environmental rights of Haudenosaunee women to their lands and bodies. Recently, Dawn partnered with Six Nations Polytechnic and McMaster University in developing the Ogwehoweh Language Diploma and is the Co-Chair of Indigenous Knowledge Centre Steering Committee. She currently holds a SSHRC grant for “Preserving Haudenosaunee language and ceremonies through the digitization and translation of the Hewitt Collection” with community partner Six Nations Polytechnic.
