    • This presentation invites participants into a space of critical reflection, relational learning, and transformative possibility. Together, we will explore how place-based nursing knowledge, guided by Mi’kmaw Teachings, can reshape the future of nursing theory and practice. De-Ann Sheppard, PHD, MScHQ, NP  shares her 2026 dissertation, Honouring the Spirit of Mi’kmaw nursing knowledge: Critical auto-ethnography as transformative teacher, and Story of her doctoral journey as a L’nu nurse.

      Learning Objectives:

      1. Appreciate Indigenous critical auto-ethnography (ICA) as a transformative methodology grounded in social justice and collective responsibility.
      2. Critically assess the limitations of dominant nursing paradigms in addressing climate crisis and theorizing planetary health.
      3. Consider how ICA might reveal your wisdom, uncover hidden patterns, name experiences, and advance equity in your practice if you listened to your own Story and lived experience.
