Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ

In line with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, and through the development and adoption of an Indigenous Strategy, the Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà commits to:

1. the process of reconciliation, which entails a collective journey that honours Indigenous Peoples’ stories, knowledge and traditions and the renewal and development of authentic relationships with Indigenous peoples and communities;
2. establishing a welcoming, inclusive and culturally competent campus community that respects, includes and promotes Indigenous ways of knowing, teaching, learning and research;
3. creating and maintaining shared, ethical space inclusive of Indigenous peoples’ representation within the student body, faculty, staff, leadership and governing structures;
4. developing a campus community that understands the histories and worldviews of Indigenous Peoples and the importance of connection to land;
5. ensuring policies, practices and procedures are supportive and respectful of Indigenous ways of doing;
6. creating space and processes for ongoing "full-circle" community engagement through dialogue with Indigenous communities and other institutional stakeholders; and
7. ensuring sustainability and renewal of the Indigenous Strategy so it remains a current and dynamic agent for transformation for the university.
