Leth Polytech, Ninastako Cultural Centre partner to address misinformation

News

Lethbridge Polytechnic’s Centre for Public Safety Applied Research has partnered with the Ninastako Cultural Centre on a project that will address misinformation about Indigenous peoples. Ihtsitomaniista’po’tako’p (Working Together) will focus on misinformation about Indigenous people, including how it spreads and impacts communities and how it can be addressed. Community members will be able to share their experiences to inform the creation of digital tools that will address misinformation and promote understanding. “These experiences will better inform the development of these tools and help us deconstruct those misinformed ideas and stereotypes,” said Leth Polytech student Megan Gros Ventre Boy (Iinakii/Buffalo Woman).
