Terri Cardinal

Tansi, I’m Terri Cardinal (she/her) and I’m from Saddle Lake Cree Nation in Treaty 6 Territory. I just completed a one year contract, working on a meaningful project as the Indian Residential School Coordinator with Blue Quills University. I have now returned to MacEwan University, where I am the been the director of Indigenous Initiatives for the last 6 years. I have a clinical MSW specializing in trauma and I am now pursuing my PhD in Social Work with the University of Calgary. My research and passion focus on ceremony is healing, grief and loss traditional practices, Indigenous social work, and identity. In my aspirations, I am a co-host and co-creator of “2 Crees in a Pod”, a Podcast that amplifies Indigenous voices to honor Indigenous helping practices. In addition, along with my co-host and colleague Amber Dion, we deliver nêhiyaw trauma informed practices & Indigenous love workshops for front line workers across the country.
