Come learn about Indigenous perspectives within Colonial institutions.
This year’s symposium invites critical reflection and dialogue on the experiences, tensions, and possibilities of navigating Indigenous presence within spaces shaped by colonial histories and structures. Through conversations with scholars, community leaders, and knowledge carriers, we will explore how Indigenous peoples reclaim, resist, and transform institutions while carrying forward relationships, responsibilities, and teachings that challenge colonial systems.
The symposium will create space to reflect on belonging, survivance, resurgence, and the ongoing work of making institutions more accountable to Indigenous peoples and communities.
Join us for a day of learning, relationship-building, and collective reflection.
