The Arbutus Review is produced by the Learning and Teaching Centre and the 

McPherson Library. It is an online journal with a small print run. The online 

version can be found at http://journals.uvic.ca/index.php/arbutus. 

 

The Arbutus Review was created to showcase the articles, projects, and installations 

that result from the Jamie Cassels Undergraduate Research Award (JCURA) 

Program. However, Volume 3, Number 2 is a special issue that focuses on 

Indigenous governance. Adam Gaudry, a doctoral student and sessional instructor 

at the University of Victoria, approached the Learning and Teaching Centre to co-

create this themed volume. His vision and dedication have resulted in this 

impressive collection of essays. We thank Adam for bringing this issue into being.
