For more than 60 years, Trent University has been a leader in Indigenous studies and advancing Indigenous education, truth, and reconciliation. Trent was the first university in Canada, and only the second in North America, to establish an academic department dedicated to Indigenous Studies and Indigenous Knowledges. 

Indigenous ways of knowing continue to shape learning, research, and community across the university through the guidance of Elders and knowledge keepers, fostering understanding, respect, and meaningful connection to the treaty and traditional territory on which Trent is located.
