Indigenous Strategy
Statement of Commitments
In line with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, and through the development and adoption of an Indigenous Strategy, the University of Calgary commits to:
- 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;
- establishing a welcoming, inclusive and culturally competent campus community that respects, includes and promotes Indigenous ways of knowing, teaching, learning and research;
- creating and maintaining shared, ethical space inclusive of Indigenous peoples’ representation within the student body, faculty, staff, leadership and governing structures;
- developing a campus community that understands the histories and worldviews of Indigenous Peoples and the importance of connection to land;
- ensuring policies, practices and procedures are supportive and respectful of Indigenous ways of doing;
- creating space and processes for ongoing "full-circle" community engagement through dialogue with Indigenous communities and other institutional stakeholders; and
- ensuring sustainability and renewal of the Indigenous Strategy so it remains a current and dynamic agent for transformation for the university.
