This National Indigenous History Month, we invite you to go beyond the land acknowledgement and take some time to understand your relationship to the land, treaties, and to the Indigenous communities near you.

Across the College of Social Sciences and Humanities, along with FNS, we take our commitment to treaty and to the 94 Calls to Action seriously and make it a priority not just in June, but year-round.

This , we're amplifying First Nations, Inuit and Métis voices and taking some time to ground ourselves on the land in which we're situated.
