Learn and reflect about Truth & Reconciliation, history, the Indian Act, anti-Indigenous racism, land connection, and how to be a good relative
URise Indigenous
The University of Calgary will engage in systemic and systematic transformation, particularly transformation of the identity and cultural landscape of the campus community, promoting inclusivity and respect. Transforming our ways of being means changing and renewing how all people are understood, supported, and respected and how authentic relationships with Indigenous communities are developed and sustained. Meaningful transformation requires a paradigm shift in values, attitudes, belief systems, behaviours, and ongoing commitment and intention.
URise Indigenous is intended to enrich and enhance learning, engagement, awareness, and understanding of First Nations, Inuit, and Metis peoples, identities, worldviews, and cultures, increasing intercultural capacity building of the campus community.
By participating, staff and faculty are invited to learn, reflect, and enhance their understanding of Indigenous ways of connecting, knowing, being, doing, and furthering their understanding of truth and reconciliation, Indigenous-Settler relations, history, Indian Act policy, anti-Indigenous racism, connection to the land, and the interwoven relationships among place and people.
