We are working to build a sense of community by connecting people through Indigenous perspectives.
Indigenous Education & Engagement is working to build a sense of community by connecting people through Indigenous perspectives. We work in partnership with regional Indigenous communities to ensure Indigenous students are supported and connected to their learning environment—academically, culturally, and socially.
Future Students
We assist Indigenous students in transitioning to the challenges of post-secondary education, while fostering awareness and appreciation of Indigenous culture and history within the greater campus community.

We want to welcome you to the traditional lands that Humber Polytechnic is located on. We do this to honour and respect the ancestors who lived on this land before us and currently still reside in this area. Humber invites you to join us in recognizing the living history of the land on which we are located and honour our connection to it.
- Jason Seright, Vice President, Inclusion, Belonging, and Student Experience
Humber Land Acknowledgement
Humber Polytechnic is located within the traditional and treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit. Known as Adoobiigok, the “Place of the Alders” in Michi Saagiig language, the region is uniquely situated along Humber River watershed, which historically provided an integral connection for Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and Wendat peoples between the Ontario Lakeshore and the Lake Simcoe/Georgian Bay regions. Now home to people of numerous nations, Adoobiigok continues to provide a vital source of interconnection for all. Humber's campuses are enriched with cultural markers that acknowledge the original inhabitants of Adoobiigok. Visit the Cultural Marker Page to take a virtual tour.
