Marc has been working with the HEC Lab since the autumn of 2015. Since then, Marc has worked with Heather, Vanessa, and Jon on the ‘Our Journey, Our Choice, Our Future’ research project. His Masters work focused on examining archival documents held by Huu-ay-aht First Nations to gain a comprehensive understanding of the modern treaty negotiation process. In doing so, the research not only looks to provide greater understanding into the process itself, but also to gain insights into how Huu-ay-aht First Nations negotiated Treaty successfully. Marc defended his thesis in October of 2017, and has since transitioned into the role of Research Program Manager for the HEC Lab.
