About the Presenters:
Dr. Chett Monague is an Anishinaabe man from Chimnissing (Beausoleil First Nation) whose life and career bridge education, Indigenous advocacy, and healthcare. With degrees in biology and education, Chett began his career supporting Indigenous students across the K–12 and post-secondary systems. After surviving a motor vehicle accident and experiencing firsthand the benefits of chiropractic care, he shifted his focus toward healthcare. This life-changing experience, combined with the loss of his older brother during the pandemic, inspired him to pursue a Doctor of Chiropractic degree at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) in Toronto.
Throughout his studies, Chett has remained deeply connected to his culture and community. He co-founded CMCC’s Indigenous Student Association and has helped embed Indigenous knowledge into chiropractic education, including advising on culturally sensitive curriculum changes. Chett’s advocacy extends beyond the classroom—he volunteers with Beausoleil First Nation’s Education Advisory Committee and teaches Anishinaabe culture to educators at Queen’s University. His efforts have been recognized through several national scholarships, including the TD Scholarship for Indigenous Peoples and the Canada Post Award for Indigenous Students.
Chett’s mission is to provide accessible, culturally-informed chiropractic care to Indigenous people in rural, remote, and urban communities. He is committed to addressing health inequities and raising awareness about proactive wellness, particularly within populations often underrepresented in mainstream healthcare. As part of this vision, he completed a symbolic swim across Georgian Bay to raise funds for his education and to promote active living in Indigenous communities. With a unique blend of traditional knowledge, personal resilience, and professional training, Chett is poised to be a transformative force in Indigenous health.
