Northwestern Polytechnic has renewed its Indigenous Education Protocol, which has been signed by representatives from NWP and the Circle of Indigenous Students. The agreement reaffirms the institution’s commitment to incorporating Indigenous ways of knowing, being, doing, and relating into its educational, organizational, cultural, and social frameworks. Initially signed in 2018, the updated protocol outlines eight guiding principles for the institution to support Indigenous education. “The opportunity to update and formalize a renewed Indigenous Education Protocol for our institution is a great honour,” said NWP President Dr Vanessa Sheane. “Education is a powerful tool for reconciliation and this protocol reflects our commitment to embracing Indigenous knowledge, fostering inclusivity, and ensuring that the voices and perspectives of Indigenous communities are not only integrated but celebrated.”
