Our Indigenous focus is inclusive of Indigenous peoples in Canada (First Nations, Metis, Inuit) as well as Indigenous peoples from other countries.


Our vision emphasizes:

Collaboration and equal partnerships with a diversity of Indigenous communities and organizations. Equitable representation of Indigenous people in enrollment across programs. Integration of Indigenous content and perspectives across the curriculum. Equitable representation of Indigenous people on faculty and staff. Support and encouragement of Indigenous research and scholarship. Integration of Indigenous awareness and local protocol as part of all faculty and staff orientation. Requirement of anti-racism, multicultural and Indigenous pedagogical approaches as a part of all teacher certification.

The role is responsible for community outreach, including Indigenous units and committees throughout the University, local Indigenous communities, community groups, funding agencies, schools, school districts, and various communities and organizations.
