The University of Manitoba has recently shared some of the initiatives it has embarked on to further advance reconciliation. The university has launched an Indigenous-led initiative called Researching in Good Ways, which will host a series of consultations and sessions with faculty, graduate students, and Indigenous community partners. UManitoba Project Director Kathleen Wilson, who is Métis, explained that the project team hopes that the resulting framework and associated resources will foster “meaningful and lasting change in how researchers engage and collaborate with Indigenous partners.” The university also recently updated its Traditional Territories Acknowledgement to better reflect the cultural identities of those Indigenous groups whose traditional lands and homelands include the university’s campus locations.
