Sessional Instructor, Member of the Indigenous Circle of UPEI
Morgan is of Peguis First Nation Cree, MB and Acadian, PEI-NB ancestry, and was raised on Epekwitk (PEI). Morgan earned a Master of Arts from the School of Criminology at Simon Fraser University. She has had the privilege of learning from Indigenous Elders and communities on the Unceded Coast Salish Territory, specifically Vancouver, BC, for six years. During her time in Vancouver, she completed her MA Thesis entitled "Justice in the Words of Elder: Stories, Teachings and Wisdom on Unceded Coast Salish Territory" while also working for the First Nations Health Authority of British Columbia, which supported Indigenous peoples' health and wellness by reconnecting them to both traditional and contemporary ways.
Morgan is a mother of two beautiful Cree-Mi'kmaq babies, who love attending Mawi'omi on their unceded territory of Mi'kmak'i. Morgan and her partner, a member of Abegweit First Nation, love to spend time crafting beadwork, dreamcatchers, and ribbon skirts to reconnect and regenerate love for traditional artwork in the community. She is honoured to return to UPEI as a sessional instructor where she earned an undergraduate BA degree in Psychology in 2012.
