Today we honour the strength and resilience of residential schools' survivors and remember the children who have never returned home. We also mark Orange Shirt Day, created to raise awareness of the impacts of residential schools on Indigenous communities, and to foster the concept of “Every Child Matters”.

Today we celebrate another incredible journey of one of our recent graduates, Rachel Martin. “I enrolled in the Certificate of Indigenous Business Management program at McGill, where my classmates were other Indigenous students that had been out of school for many years, just like me. Over the next 3 years, I was taught by some incredible teachers who revived my love of learning. I enjoyed it so much, that I didn’t want to leave after graduation. (…) I decided to take it to the next level and apply to do my EMBA. I am very thankful that I took that leap of faith as it brought me to where I am, and I am now proud to be a part of McGill’s EMBA program class of 2024.”

Good morning everyone, and happy National Indigenous Peoples Day!

Please join us this morning for our special event presented by Mr. Konrad Sioui, ex-chief of the Huron-Wendat Nation:

En 1982, Georges, Hugues, Régent et Konrad Sioui sont arrêtés et accusés d’avoir illégalement fait du camping et des feux et coupé des arbres dans le Parc de la Jacques-Cartier au Québec. Ils interjettent appel auprès de la Cour suprême du Canada. En 1990, les Sioui gagnent leur cause dans une décision unanime de la Cour suprême du Canada (la décision R. c. Sioui, ou décision Sioui), qui reconnaît que le « traité entre les Hurons et les Britanniques de 1760 » conclu entre le général britannique James Murray et le chef huron-wendat est toujours valide, car il s’agit d’un traité international signé entre nations souveraines qui protège le droit d’utiliser les terres pour des cérémonies. Durant ce webinaire, l’ex-chef Konrad Sioui analysera le rôle déterminant de cette affaire dans sa vie et sa carrière, et son incidence sur le mode d’interprétation des traités autochtones dans les tribunaux canadiens depuis.
