Indigenous news from UVic
New Student Welcome
This September, start the year off in a good way at the New Student Welcome to campus.
Learning from lands and waters
Andrew Ambers, who graduates this June with a degree in Indigenous Studies and political science, has combined his interests, research, heritage and thought-provoking perspectives on waterways to propose a promising new approach to resource management policy and law.
Celebrating World Oceans Day 2023
For 60 years, multiple experiences of UVic students and researchers across disciplines have been shaped by the ocean. From a campus that’s a few short steps from coastline, our engagement with the global ocean has defined UVic research and its breakthroughs.
A new threat to kelp health
A very small creature is threatening the health of BC’s giant kelp forests: bryozoans. They’re tiny white coral-like crustaceans that attach themselves to kelp, reducing reproduction and overall health of kelp beds.
Real-world solutions to marine conservation
Natalie Ban is at the forefront of seeking solutions to contemporary global environmental challenges; in a way that embraces equity, diversity and inclusion.
Bringing substance to inclusion
Tanaya Marsel, Indigenous talent acquisition specialist at Deloitte, graduates with a UVic MBA this June — and she has insights on why diversity and inclusion initiatives sometimes fall short.
National Indigenous History Month
June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada, a time to recognize, learn about and celebrate the rich history, heritage, resilience and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples.
Nuu-chah-nulth knowledge
A powerful new exhibit of over 51 original and reproduction works by a c̓išaaʔatḥ (Tseshaht) artist, scholar/educator, activist and actor—George Clutesi (1905-1988)— is on during Indigenous Peoples History Month at the Alberni Valley Museum in Port Alberni until Sept. 2.
Red Dress Day
May 5 is Red Dress Day, the national day of awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit people.
Alumna transforms darkness into light
Alumna and artist Francis Dick's new solo exhibition at Legacy Art Gallery is an autobiography told through art, each image and object testament to her life’s journey, her culture, her fearlessness, and her ability to transform joy and pain into art.
Fieldwork footprint of ȾEL ̧IȽĆE village
Led by the Tsawout First Nation, the University of Victoria's 2023 archaeology summer field school will conduct the first research-focused archaeological project in the Cordova Bay area, which was originally a teeming centre of life for the people living in an Indigenous village called ȾEL ̧IȽĆE. The fieldwork will map the footprint of the village and surrounding areas using ground penetrating radar and archaeological soil probing techniques, as well as careful exploratory excavations, while bringing SENĆOŦEN language, oral history, and local knowledge into the research. The project aims to recognize and uplift all the incredible stories attached to the place and to reconnect people to the land and water.
$1.4M scholarships for Indigenous law students
Generous community support totalling $1.4 million will advance legal education for Indigenous students at the University of Victoria. A year after the world’s first law program graduated its first class, a total of 24 new scholarships for Indigenous law students will be awarded, thanks to a group of donors and a partnership with Indspire through their Building Brighter Futures program.
