Reconciliation Initiatives
Connecting Learning and Life
Reciprocal and respectful relations are foundational to entrench the values and principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion, and to act upon our treaty responsibilities. This Intention draws us together as administrators, faculty, staff, students, alumni, and as the Faculty of Nursing.
Initiatives
Celebrating our Indigenous Learners
Both the feather and Métis sash hold profound cultural, spiritual, and historical significance within Indigenous communities. They serve as powerful symbols that connect individuals to their heritage, ancestors, and the values that are cherished within their cultures.
In celebration of the accomplishments of our Indigenous learners, acts of bravery, or by making significant contributions to the community, the Faculty of Nursing offers a gift of either an Eagle Feather or a Métis sash, to each Indigenous graduand.
Mentorship
We strive to share our expertise to inspire positive social change. We continue to expand educational opportunities for all.

Treaty Four Days
The Treaty Four Gathering brings in over twenty thousand First Nations and non-First Nations people to the community of Fort Qu’Appelle, SK. The Gathering provides the opportunity to educate the public on Treaties and what it means to be a beneficiary of Treaty 4.
Undergraduate and Graduate Programs
By design, all students’ educational journeys will be enriched by multiple forms and sources of knowledge, a diversity of viewpoints, and by knowing that their differences are respected and valued.
Support for Students
Indigenous advisors support Indigenous applicants and students in their transition to post-secondary learning and living environments. They know the challenges Indigenous students can face, are familiar with Indigenous and nursing cultures, and understand the importance of cultural awareness, sensitivity, competence, humility, safety, and respect.
