Dear Humber Community,
As part of our ongoing commitment to Indigenous learners, families, communities, and organizations, we are developing a new Indigenous Education Plan to guide Humber’s truth and reconciliation efforts. This plan will support the principles outlined in Colleges and Institutes Canada’s Indigenous Education Protocol, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Report and Calls to Action, and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
At Humber, belonging is our bedrock. Indigenous Education & Engagement continues to focus on naawsidoong mino nawendiwin (building good relationships) with communities, both on and off campus. As such, our consultation process includes engaging Humber Indigenous Education Council members, Indigenous communities and organizations, Humber Committees, students, alumni, faculty and staff.
Truth and reconciliation is the responsibility of each of us. To ensure our new plan reflects the needs and aspirations of the Humber community, we are seeking your input through a short, anonymous online form. Your voice is crucial in informing the goals and priorities that will shape our new Indigenous Education Plan.
Please take a few moments to share your thoughts and help us create a future that supports and uplifts Indigenous students, staff and faculty, as well as cultivates and strengthens relationships across our campus community. You can access the form here: Share your voice.
And if you interested in learning about what our Indigenous student services and educational programing have been, please check out our 2021-2023 Indigenous Education Plan: Naawsidoong Mino Nawendiwin: Building Good Relationships.
Thank you for your time and participation.
Warmly,
Elijah Williams
Dean of Indigenous Education and Engagement
