Shekon Neechie: An Indigenous History Site is a website created by seven established Indigenous scholars on June 21, 2018. Among our editorial board, four hold research chair positions and two direct academic units of Indigenous Studies at Canadian universities.
The name for the site comes from combining the Mohawk word for hello, ‘shekon’ (pronounced say-go) and the Cree and Ojibwe word for friend, ‘Neechie.’
The site is for Indigenous historians, but can be useful also for teachers, students, researchers or general readers who want to read and listen to Indigenous histories.
