Prince Albert Daily Herald A University of Saskatchewan (USask) researcher, Dr. Holly Graham (PhD), has been awarded $2.5 million over five years by Public Safety Canada to implement a crime prevention program using culture as the intervention. According to Graham, the crime prevention project provides 10 to 19-year-old students and their families on both Little Pine and Poundmaker First Nations an opportunity to connect to their traditional Cree identity. This will include the use of traditional ways to manage conflict resolution. “It is returning to the Cree traditional worldviews and paradigms away from Western practices and policies to address community safety. Using the Cree culture to manage challenges faced by youth in these communities. So it is a return to Cree cultures, values and beliefs,” Graham, assistant professor in the College of Nursing and USask’s Indigenous Research Chair in Nursing, said.
