Across higher education, and specifically at VIU, Indigenous perspectives are being interpreted and applied in a variety of ways. A group of students were brought together to investigate from a variety of cultural lenses what Indigenous perspectives mean at VIU.
Position Requirements
"Membership in the group comprised of Indigenous students, international studens and Non-Internationa/Indigenous students. Space was held for the relationship and to give students a voice in this time of transformation. Specifically, we wanted to enable them to:
Gather and share dialogue;
Build Relationships and Trust;
Engage meaningfully with Elders and key community members;
Attend the Truth and Reconciliation Conference at UVic in November 2018;
Workin small groups to formulate areas of enquiry that investigate what Indigenous perspectives mean at VIU;
