Background
The University of Manitoba's annual Elders and Traditional Peoples Gathering began in 2002 with the Department of Native Studies (now Indigenous Studies). As it grew, a larger planning committee was formed and the gathering was hosted for many years by the Indigenous Student Centre. With support from the Indigenous campus community, the event is now hosted by Cultural Integration.
