Indigenous Cultural Liaison

2 weeks ago

Victoria, Canada Royal Roads University Full time

Royal Roads University engages with Indigenous Peoples, communities, and organizations to address the six core elements of our framework for action. We approach this engagement to demonstrate respect to the peoples of these Lands.

The Liaison is the university’s expert on Indigenous cultures and communities, with emphasis on local communities, especially the Lekwungen-speaking peoples of the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations on whose ancestral lands the Royal Roads University Colwood campus is located. The federal land disposition process to repatriate the lands where the Colwood campus is located makes this work even more critical and sensitive.

Understanding that respectful, positive relationships are foundational to this work, the Indigenous Cultural Liaison develops and maintains relationships with Indigenous communities, organizations, and Peoples. The Liaison advises on, coordinates, and facilitates work with Indigenous Peoples in a wide range of contexts. The Liaison acts as the nexus for contacts with external Indigenous Peoples, communities, and organizations so that contacts can be respectfully supported, in support of the role of Indigenous Education in Indigenous engagement across the institution.
