Indigenous Peoples & communities

Universities are also engaged in processes to understand their roles in Indigenous dispossession to advance reconciliation. A number of external guidelines and principles are available to support Indigenous community-based research in ways that are in keeping with Indigenous values and traditions.

McGill University is on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. We acknowledge and thank the diverse Indigenous peoples whose presence marks this territory on which peoples of the world now gather.

For more information about traditional territory and tips on how to make a land acknowledgement, visit our Land Acknowledgement webpage.
