UWaterloo welcomes Eagle Staff

The University of Waterloo recently welcomed an Eagle Staff to the institution. Indigenous Knowledge Keeper Myeengun Henry introduced the staff to UWaterloo on behalf of the UWaterloo Indigenous campus community. With the introduction of the staff, UWaterloo takes on the responsibility of ensuring Indigenous perspectives are reflected in the governance, structure, and intent of the university. The staff will be present at ceremonies and celebrations as a representative symbol of UWaterloo’s First Nations, Métis, and Inuit community members and their respective traditions, cultures, and strengths.
