Assistant Professor
Gabriel Maracle is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science focusing on Indigenous Governance in Canada. This work involves understanding how Indigenous people govern themselves through their traditional practices and approaches and how that relates, or doesn’t, to the Canadian state. He is also interested in urban life, particularly the continued urbanization of Indigenous people, and how that changes and shapes Indigenous peoples’ identities, politics and institutions. He is an enrolled member of Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, and was born and raised in Ottawa. His previous work experience includes working as a policy analyst for a national Indigenous organization.
He completed his PhD at Trent University located in Michi Saagig territory now known as Peterborough, Ontario. His PhD focuses on healing programs and services for Indigenous men in reserve and urban communities.
