Abstract
The history and impacts of colonisation in Canada are important for the efforts of the Salish Sea K4C Hub in decolonising knowledge. In this case study, a brief understanding of this history is presented to contextualise the ongoing movements towards Indigenous self-determination across all aspects of life and for the building of capacity for research and training in support of these rights. Delving into the principles and vision of the hub and a brief background of the university credited CBPR course offered by the hub helps discern the key impacts of the course, and offers some reflections and recommendations in bridging different knowledge cultures between universities and communities.
