ii’ taa’poh’to’p INDIGENOUS STRATEGY


What is it?

The ii'taa'poh'to'p is the University of Calgary’s Indigenous Strategy.

Statement of Purpose
The Indigenous Strategy will guide the University of Calgary on its path of transformation and communicate its commitment and responsibility for truth and reconciliation. The strategy will remain a living document within the institution, whereby progress will be monitored and content and direction will be renewed through a process of evaluation and evolution.


Who is it for?

All University of Calgary staff and students - and those interested in the University’s reconciliation efforts.  


What can it do?

Statement of Committments:

In line with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, and through the development and adoption of an Indigenous Strategy, the University of Calgary commits to
  1. The process of reconciliation, which entails a collective journey that honours Indigenous peoples’ stories, knowledges, and traditions and the renewal and development of authentic relationships with Indigenous peoples and communities;
  2. Establishing a welcoming, inclusive, and culturally competent campus community that respects, includes, and promotes Indigenous ways of knowing, teaching, learning, and research;
  3. Creating and maintaining shared, ethical space inclusive of Indigenous peoples’ representation within the student body, staff, faculty, leadership, and governing structures;
  4. Developing a campus community that understands the histories and worldviews of Indigenous peoples and the importance of connection to land;
  5. Ensuring policies, practices and procedures are supportive and respectful of Indigenous ways of doing;
  6. Creating space and processes for ongoing ‘full circle’ community engagement through dialogue with Indigenous communities and other institutional stakeholders; and
  7. Ensuring sustainability and renewal of the Indigenous Strategy so it remains a current and dynamic agent for transformation for the university.
