Dr. Marker’s research brings to light ecological education and place based pedagogies in the Coast Salish region. This work has informed historians of education about both transnational Indigenous identities and the contrasting experiences from U.S. and Canadian residential schooling policies. His forthcoming works are focused on Indigenous leadership, traditional knowledge, and methodological considerations.
