We create culturally-grounded spaces for dialogue and learning, guided by Indigenous ways of knowing and being. The Centre for Indigenous Support and Community Engagement (CISCE) welcomes and supports Indigenous peoples who work and study at Carleton University, as students, faculty and professional services staff. The Centre aims to inspire, encourage and empower the Carleton community to work co

The team works to create programs and services that support the Carleton community to ensure Indigenous cultures, traditions, histories and worldviews are respected and represented on campus. CISCE hosts a variety of programs and events in the Ojigkwanong Centre (228 Paterson Hall) throughout the academic year. We also host Indigenous public lectures, pow wows and other cultural events to provide a learning and sharing environment for the Carleton community, which helps to promote knowledge and understanding of Indigenous cultures, traditions, histories, worldviews and contemporary issues.
