He obtained his MA in geography from the University of Ottawa. Following his MA, Daniel worked as a Special Projects Intern for the Alberta Ministry of Indigenous Relations in Edmonton, Alberta, working primarily on clean drinking water projects in First Nations communities and the Sixties Scoop Apology. His current doctoral research engages with critical geography by exploring past and present representations of Indigeneity and the environment within the Canadian context through a variety of case studies including media coverage of Indigenous views for and against the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project, depictions of Indigenous Peoples and places on stamps, and the role of beadwork in fostering an urban Indigenous sense of place.
