Contact us Dedicated to expanding wellbeing by building on strengths of Indigenous peoples
Learning, listening and nourishing a community that values Indigenous knowledge, wisdom and teachings is central to our mission.
We recently conducted a visioning consultation with Indigenous students, faculty and staff, which identified eight core elements:
- Indigenous-led – uphold Indigenous self-determination
- Connecting – provide frequent opportunities for Indigenous students and faculty to gather
- Partnering – provide tangible benefits and be deeply connected to Indigenous communities with a focus on local First Nations
- Belonging – provide a safe, accessible and adaptable space that is Indigenized throughout
- Growing – continue to grow in resourcing, impact and offerings
- Contributing – support expansive thinking in the field of Indigenous research and community-led engagement
- Mentoring – support students and faculty at every stage of their journey
- Affirming – honour, support and uplift Indigenous scholars
We are committed to bringing this vision to life and grounding the work of our centre in the voices of our Indigenous students and scholars. As we gather support for CIRCLE’s next chapter and search for a new Director, we will be pausing some of our events and activities.
