Skylee-Storm Hogan-Stacey

Skylee-Storm Hogan-Stacey joined FNIGC in 2024 as part of the Data Sovereignty Research Collaborative (DSRC, or The Collaborative). She is responsible for planning and undertaking critical inquiry and applied research in First Nations data sovereignty. Skylee-Storm makes critical and creative contributions to the DSRC’s understanding of data as a powerful medium for Indigenous governance and colonial control, involving complex relations of law, practice, meaning, and community.

She has spent the last decade exploring the intersections of information science, public history, and memory in archives, and through applied research projects with communities. In addition to co-authoring Decolonial Archival Futures with Krista McCracken in 2023, Skylee-Storm worked as a research policy analyst with the Office of the Independent Special Interlocutor where she focused on historical research initiatives, archival practices, legal frameworks, and Indigenous data sovereignty.

She has also worked for historical research firms, museums, and the Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre.

Skylee-Storm has a BA (Hons.) in Law and Justice from Algoma University and an MA in History from the University of Western Ontario. She identifies with Kanien:keha’ka and settler heritage, with her father’s family being from Kahnawà:ke and her mother’s family being settlers in what is now known as Newfoundland.
