Hosted by Dr. Shawna Cunningham, EdD, Acting Vice-Provost (Indigenous Engagement), the event will include:

• Four stories offered by UCalgary staff and faculty in support of and in alignment with our visionary circles: Ways of Knowing, Ways of Doing, Ways of Connecting and Ways of Being.
• Campus highlights from our continued journey towards reconciliation as guided by ii’ taa’poh’to’p.
• A keynote address on Ethical Relationality as Kinship Wisdom from Dr. Dwayne Donald, PhD, a professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Alberta. An introduction and discussion will be led by UCalgary president, Dr. Ed McCauley, PhD.
