Mary-Anne Neal, RRU School of Business associate faculty member, is the project director of an Indigenous-led social innovation project. The Dene Hero book series was awarded the prestigious Arctic Inspiration Prize in 2018. With the $100,000 prize money, Neal has trained Indigenous youth in the remote Sahtu region of the NWT in the skills and knowledge they need to take responsibility for annually publishing a collaborative book about Dene heroes.
