Tanya Ball

Did you know that I'm a co-host of a podcast?! It's called Book Women with @michiflibrarian and @SheilaDianeL. Here we chat about Indigenous storytelling! First episode is now available on our new, shiny website.

Last semester, students in NS111: Introduction to Indigenous Contemporary Realities worked with instructor Tanya Ball to create their own zine to celebrate their work. Check out their incredible pieces here: bit.ly/44gWG8M Collage by Emily Van Roon

Check out the amazing work from my NS111 students in @UANativeStudies. Together, we created a community Zine to highlight our conversations throughout the semester. Relational learning at it's best! era.library.ualberta.ca/items/abd530b8…

Wondering... do #GladuePrinciples apply in Family Law? Or only Criminal? bcfnjc.com/wp-content/upl…

Reading more about Bill C-332: an amendment to the criminal code to include a section on "Controlling or Coercive Conduct". Great news for Domestic Abuse Survivors. Spread the word! parl.ca/DocumentViewer…

@apihtawikosisan I am currently fighting with eClass. I HATE it during grading "season". I can never get it to load properly.

@apihtawikosisan Neurodivergent love at it's best!

Teaching the Indian Act today and it’s effect on Indigenous women. Here’s an idea to help students through difficult subjects.

@apihtawikosisan You look like a total badass!!

Have you checked out the BOOK WOMEN PODCAST yet? If you need any more convincing, check out this cool piece by @UAlberta FOLIO about the hosts @SheilaDianeL @AuntyLibrarian and @MetisLibrarian and their work to give a voice to #INDIGENOUS artists. bit.ly/3HXNk6b

@IngleWitch @otipemsiw @LHrycun Aca-scuse me?!?

@otipemsiw @LHrycun @MetisLibrarian Ok but like, I’m also considering starting an a cappella group. You know…take a group of women out of their comfort zone of traditional arrangements and into a world of amazing harmonic combinations in a fight to the top of college music competitions… so I might be busy

Behind the scenes from a secret fun project we were part of yesterday. All in the same physical space! @SheilaDianeL @MetisLibrarian @AuntyLibrarian #BookWomen #IndigenousPodcasting

@Memegwes YAY! Yes, please add to slack. I want to hear all about it. Congrats!!

@brenna_duperron Us Métis are just a bunch of positive trouble makers 😈

Ball provides one of the most glorious early descriptions of the Métis as “1 1/2 men”:“1/2 [yt] man, 1/2 Indian, and 1/2 devil.” While obvious racism reeks within this quote, I adore Ball’s reclaiming, defanging, and celebrating the devilish side.#mawachihitotaak #métissymposium

In "Lii Jhyaab y Mii Koozaen: Métis Experiences of Religion and the Supernatural in St. Ambroise, Manitoba", Tanya Ball's (@MetisLibrarian) presentation reads Lii Jhyaab (the Devil) relationally through a non-hierarchical or binary lens #mawachihitotaak #métissymposium

@mawachihitotaak Two #UAlberta colleagues presented on this panel. Go, Tanya! Go, Paul! @MetisLibrarian @book_women @paulgareau4 @UANativeStudies
