Pave the Path to Success: Support Indigenous Learners at McMaster
At McMaster University, we believe in the power of learning from Indigenous histories, cultures, and ways of knowing. We also know that we have a responsibility to help address the lasting injustices of settler colonialism in Canada.
Our Indigenous learners, faculty, and staff are leaders within the university community, conducting research, creating art, and starting initiatives that are deeply personal to themselves and their peers. Some may face unique obstacles and challenges, and we must consider how we can support the pursuit of higher education and the advancement of Indigenous initiatives.
