FNU, URegina, MNU sign MOU to build relationships, learning opportunities

The First Nations University of Canada, the University of Regina, and the Mongolian National University (MNU) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that will focus on building relationships and reciprocal learning opportunities. The MOU will focus on promoting Indigenous cultures in Canada and Mongolia through joint education and research activities, academic material and publication exchanges, academic programming, and leadership practicums. Students from the three institutions will be able to engage in exchanges and study abroad programs where they can explore other Indigenous lands, cultures, and programs. “The importance of Indigenous Knowledge Systems is becoming increasingly apparent, and this international collaboration will benefit, not only our institutions, but language and cultural sustainability initiatives globally,” said FNUniv President Jaqueline Ottman.
