ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ the Name

“°­¾±²Ô೾ವ²¹·É¾±²Ô is about the future. Learning in the Indigenous way, the humility of seeking and sharing knowledge of all of our gifts will ensure that the next seven generations will benefit. We are all connected, and when we can learn together with open minds and open hearts, the outlook will be brighter.â€

– Dr. Barbara Dumont-Hill, Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg

Following the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Final Report in 2015, many post-secondary institutions worked to revitalize, support and bring Indigenous learners and Indigenous knowledges into classrooms. In October 2018, ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ joined this collective movement and formed the ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University Strategic Indigenous Initiatives Committee (CUSIIC), which published the °­¾±²Ô೾ವ²¹·É¾±²Ô Report in 2020.

°­¾±²Ô೾ವ²¹·É¾±²Ô includes 41 ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´-specific Calls to Action that encompass an overarching goal of making the ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ campus a safer space for current and future Indigenous students, staff and faculty members.

The 2025 °­¾±²Ô೾ವ²¹·É¾±²Ô Progress Report marks the fifth anniversary of the release of °­¾±²Ô೾ವ²¹·É¾±²Ô and highlights the significant collective actions  undertaken by colleagues across the University in collaboration with community partners to make ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ a safe and welcoming space for Indigenous students, staff and faculty. These actions continue to be complemented by a $2.5 million donation from the Joyce Family Foundation—matched by an additional $2.5 million from the University—which has allowed us to mobilize many of our intentions.
