Barbara Rivett
Secretary
Barb Rivett (Odawa/Mkwa Dodem) started working with Indigenous Studies in 1992. Her office is the hub of the department and her door is always open (except at lunch!) so feel free to come in, even if it’s just to say Hello. Tracking down information can be hard sometimes so it’s best to start with Barb and go from there.
