Assistant Professor University Instructor Kenanow

UCN acknowledges that we are on the
traditional territories and homelands of many
Indigenous peoples, who have existed here
since time immemorial. The First Nations in the
area that UCN serves entered into treaty
relationships with the Crown and the territory
has also become home to other Indigenous
peoples. We uphold the treaties and collaborate
with all Indigenous peoples to share truth,
reconciliation and learning.
