Santos Joins BSU Faculty to Lead Unique Indigenous Sustainability Program
Dr. Cornelia “Corrie” Santos has joined Bemidji State University as the lead faculty member for Niizhoo Gwayakochigewin, a unique academic program that brings indigenous perspectives into environmental sustainability initiatives.
Named for an Ojibwe phrase which translates to “two ways of making things right,” Niizhoo Gwayakochigewin draws from the university’s Sustainability Office, Department of Languages and Indigenous Studies, Department of Environmental Studies and American Indian Resource Center to create a single co-curricular program.
