The Office of Indigenous Initiatives (OII) is the central hub for Indigenous strategies and initiatives at McGill University. It includes both the Indigenous Initiatives and First Peoples' House teams.
As the institutional steward of McGill’s vision for Indigeneity, the Office of Indigenous Initiatives plays a multi-layered role by working to embed Indigeneity in all facets of university life. It also works to strengthen awareness and alignment of various Indigenous initiatives across the university, support Indigenous student and faculty success, and support the implementation of McGill's 52 Calls to Action on Indigenous Studies and Indigenous Education.
The First Peoples' House (FPH) at McGill is a central hub for Indigenous student support by providing a series of academic, community, and cultural-based support. The FPH offers services including dedicated study space, cultural programming and events, and residence rooms.
