Abstract: We, Mi'kmaq people, collectively recognize that language is medicine: it activates the creative healing dialogue. In my dissertation research, I used creative inquiry approaches to Mi'kmaq ways of knowing and learning that take us beyond the Modern Anglo-American and Eurocentric ways of what is embedded in various binaries and dichotomies - such as a subject/object, self/other, past/future, mind/matter, and so on. As an Indigenous scholar I write with creative inquiry intentions that are based on Mi'kmaq ontology and epistemology, such as "Nm'ultes methodology." In L'nuk (Mi'kmaw) culture there is no word for goodbye: we say ''Nm'ultes'', which translates to ''see you later'', either in person or in the spirit world. Hence "Nm'ultes" indicates multi-dimensional levels, and that our being together and communicating are not confined to the physical channel that strictly follows the laws of physics. Nm'ultes ways of knowing acknowledge our abilities to access the past–present–future continuum as well as the dream reality: hence, we can continue to communicate with each other through dreams and other dimensions. In this manuscript-based thesis, I am my own research subject. I construct myself and life as a case study for healing a wounded past and damaged self-identity, by reawakening the Mi'kmaq ancestral consciousness within me throughout the creative process. My ongoing poetic and artistic inquiry, refracted and refined through my Mi'kmaq cultural lens, comprises the main thesis of my work. This thesis creatively translates, decolonizes, and re-activates the Komqwejwi'kasikl as living knowledge bundles, rather than calling it a curriculum. These cross-cultural, intercultural, and artistic processes make up the substance and substrata of my manuscript-based dissertation document.
