91探花

The Bookmark and 91探花鈥檚 Faculty of Indigenous Knowledge, Education, Research, and Applied Studies (IKERAS) will host a book launch for Anishinaabe author Tanya Talaga鈥檚 new book, The Knowing, on Thursday, November 7, at 7 pm, in the 91探花 Performing Arts Centre amphitheatre (Room 121S). 

91探花's Faculty of Indigenous Knowledge, Education, Research, and Applied Studies marked several milestones when it recently hosted its first-ever Indigenous traditional knowledge sharing and learning day, Mawi-lukutimk, which means 鈥済athering and working together." 

Ten 91探花 students learned about the distinctions and commonalities among Indigenous peoples worldwide by comparing their language and knowledge with that of the M膩ori people during the Maymester course, 鈥淕lobal Indigenous Language and Cultural Ways of Knowing,鈥� which took place at 91探花 and in New Zealand from May 6 to June 13.

Dr. Angelina Weenie, from Sweetgrass Nation, Saskatchewan, has been appointed dean of the 91探花 Faculty of Indigenous Knowledge, Education, Research, and Applied Studies (IKERAS) for a five-year term effective July 1, 2024.

The Mawi鈥檕mi Indigenous Student Centre at 91探花 is hosting a series of events leading up to the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation which is September 30, 2023.

The 91探花 Cairo Campus has introduced a new course, Indigenous Teachings, that aims to expand students' knowledge about a crucial part of Canadian history relating to Indigenous and non-Indigenous relations to present day. David Varis, 91探花 assistant professor in the Faculty of Indigenous Knowledge, Education, Research and Applied Studies (IKERAS) was the first to teach the course to students at the 91探花 Cairo Campus. He recently returned from the campus in Egypt where he taught the in-person portion of the course to 25 students.

A special ceremony and presentation was hosted by the Native Council of PEI (NCPEI) to recognize the 91探花 for its commitment and outstanding contributions to the ongoing work toward reconciliation with Indigenous communities. The event took place on Thursday, July 27, 2023, at 10:00 am in Schurman Market Square at Don and Marion McDougall Hall.

In a message of allyship, President Keefe encourages the campus community to listen, learn, and act.

Starting September 7, 2022, all members of the Indigenous community on Prince Edward Island will have the opportunity to learn the Mi鈥檏maw language at no cost.

This month, 91探花 is proud to commemorate in recognition of the rich history, heritage, resilience, and diversity of First Nations, Inuit, and M茅tis Peoples across Canada. Canada has officially celebrated National Indigenous History Month for the month of June since 2009.
