Background

Dr. Amanda LaVallee is a Red River Métis born and raised in Alberta and Saskatchewan in places such as Edmonton, Speers, North Battleford, and Saskatoon. She spent much of her childhood keenly attuned to the prairie landscape through the activities of hunting, trapping, fishing, gathering, and gardening. Her kinship is rooted in the Métis homelands of the Red River, carried through the Vandal, Branconnier, Courchene, Poitras, Delorme, Pilon, Beauchamp, and Normand lines. The teachings, stories, and responsibilities passed down through these relations shape her identity and guide her scholarship, grounding her work in the communities and kin who continue to influence her. These ancestral ties inform her commitments to Métis research sovereignty, relational accountability, and the resurgence of Métis knowledge systems within academic institutions. Her expertise spans, Indigenous-specific racism in the academy, Métis health and well-being, Métis methodologies, digital storytelling, and Indigenous research sovereignty, with each area reflecting her dedication to strengthening Métis presence and self-determination in research and education. She holds a bachelor's degree of Indigenous Social Work from the First Nations University of Canada (2001), a master's degree in social work from the University of Regina (2006), and a PHD (2014) and Post Doctoral Fellowship (2018) in the department of Community Health and Epidemiology from the University of Saskatchewan.
