Beginning in 2014 as a vision to bring Indigenous students, educators, and communities together, the Indigenous Knowledges Gathering (IKG) embraced Indigenous knowledge transfer, celebrating and sharing innovative practices in the field of Indigenous education. From panel discussions to hands-on workshops and keynote presentations, IKG brings together a diverse range of Knowledge Holders, Elders, scholars, students and communities to share the successes, challenges, strategies and possible future directions of Indigenous education. Growing from 120 participants in 2014, to 1,600+ participants in recent years due to the introduction of livestream viewing, IKG is well known for its innovative content, networking opportunities, and community-friendly atmosphere.

This year’s IKG will bring together a diverse array of storytellers with the theme: What Our Ancestors Know: Teaching and Learning through Storytelling. #IKG2023 will be a dynamic event with various opportunities to hear from diverse leaders as they share the importance of truth and autonomy in storytelling and education. Attendees will be able to hear the unique perspectives and traditional knowledges that exist across Indigenous nations at this year's gathering. This event offers insights for members of the Humber community and beyond.

Through various panels, keynotes and workshops, attendees will be able to learn from Indigenous Knowledge Keepers and gain insight from valued members of the Humber community. By including the diverse voices of those who have practiced relationship building founded on respect and reciprocity with Indigenous peoples, those who attend will be able to look through the lens the College has been utilizing when working alongside Indigenous Communities.

Registration details will be announced through the Communiqué. To stay up-to-date with IKG 2023 information, follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook and/or Instagram).
