About me
Many Indigenous people have certain protocols for introductions. In keeping with the protocols of my Ojibwe ancestors, please allow me to introduce myself first Ojibwemong:
Boozhoo, Mark Bellcourt niin indizhinikaaz zhaanaashiimong.
Bimose Inini idash nindigo Ojibwemong. Gaawiin ningikenimaasii
indoodem. Gaa-Waabaabiganikaag niin indoojibaa. Ashkibugziibing
nindayendaa noongom.
Greetings, my English name is Mark Bellcourt. However, I am
called Walking Man in Ojibwe. I do not know my clan. I come from
White Earth, but now I live in St. Paul.
I earned my Ed.D. from the University of Minnesota in 2005 in higher education policy and administration. My research interests are in Indigenous worldviews of math and science and how they can be better integrated into the mainstream curriculum. I am currently an academic adviser in the College of Education and Human Development. In addition to my advising responsibilities, I also direct the Ando-giikendaasowin Native American Math and Science (ANAMS) program, a math and science summer program for Native American high school students.
