The Indigenous community at UM

Located on the original lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation in the heart of Turtle Island, the University of Manitoba campuses include a vibrant Indigenous community of thousands of students, staff, faculty and alumni.

The Indigenous campus community works together to build and expand our presence and visibility at UM while creating a safe environment for students and staff to work and learn.

  • Who we are

    The Indigenous community on campus includes learners, teachers, researchers, administrators and Elders. Each of us arrives to this space with varying levels of education, research experience and cultural knowledge. It is within this community that we share an eagerness to support, learn and grow together in an environment that values and respects diverse backgrounds.

  • Where we are going

    The University of Manitoba’s strategic plan has received constructive feedback from all levels of the Indigenous community. With guidance from Elders, community members, faculty, staff and students, the UM’s commitment to enhancing an effective, supportive and nurturing learning environment for the Indigenous community is an ongoing process.
