MacEwan Today

We acknowledge that the land on which we gather in Treaty Six Territory is the traditional gathering place for many Indigenous people. We honour and respect the history, languages, ceremonies and culture of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit who call this territory home.

The First People’s connection to the land teaches us about our inherent responsibility to protect and respect Mother Earth. With this acknowledgement, we honour the ancestors and children who have been buried here, missing and murdered Indigenous women and men, and the process of ongoing collective healing for all human beings. We are reminded that we are all treaty people and of the responsibility we have to one another.

A look back at the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

On September 30, faculty and staff gathered to reflect and learn during a leadership symposium offered in collaboration with the City of Edmonton. The event honoured Indigenous Peoples and their experiences, welcomed Indigenous speakers and had participants engaging in discussions and activities to promote understanding and unity. Here are some photos from the day.
