Learn about identity construction processes of immigrants

Guest speaker Chetan-Ameya Amble and host Jebunnessa Chapola

Canada is a land of immigrants. Immigration has produced a culturally and racially diverse population. This diverse population has little knowledge about Canadian history and it’s native people. As a result, there are often some misconceptions about Canadian Indigenous people among immigrant communities. Chetan-Ameya Amble is an International graduate student has been studying in Department of Curriculum Studies. His research work is about identity construction processes of immigrant elementary school students in Saskatoon. He worked as a Science Ambassador with Green Lake Aboriginal communities. As part of celebrating National Aboriginal Day, Banglar Gaan O Kotha, a Bangla community radio show invited Chetan to share insights from his research project and work experiences with Green Lake Indigenous communities where he came across many misconceptions about Indigenous people.
