Dr. Anthony McKnight’s chapter is infused with stories of lessons from Elders and family. Dr. McKnight explains that the chapter might be confusing for some readers, reflecting his own academic journey and mirroring the way Elders often indirectly guide community through convoluted stories. We see an example of Aunty pedagogy and the capacity to maintain connection through discourse. The chapter is a powerful insight into the intersecting tensions between not forgetting where you come from, latent community fear of losing their young people to Western education systems, and community expectations and the responsibility of being an Indigenous person doing doctoral work. Using that most ordinary, everyday item, the humble potato chip, Dr. McKnight seeks to distill his experiences and lessons learned into an instructive poem.
