Each year, the Office of Indigenous Initiatives (OII) coordinates two weeks of events in September involving Indigenous academics, artists, and community members.
As part of ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï’s commitment to honour and celebrate Indigenous knowledge, IAW offers a dedicated time to engage the broader ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï community in learning from Indigenous peoples. Indigenous Awareness Weeks (IAW) provide the ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï community an opportunity to learn more about Indigenous cultures, histories, and societies. They also help foster a dialogue about First Nations, Métis, and Inuit topics important to individuals and their communities.
