In the keynote address Dr. Christopher Horsethief, a First Nations educator and researcher, explains how boundary objects such as language and culture can provide structure and stability in the wake of cultural trauma. He discusses recent social network research into Ktunaxa community dynamics in which intense social media interaction demonstrate community resilience. He poses the argument that community members’ use of language and culture allow the Ktunaxa, and all collectively traumatized groups, to pursue collectively intelligent negative entropy.
