McGill University has established the Onkwehón:we Advisory Council to support the university’s Indigenous representation and reconciliation efforts. This council is made up of Indigenous individuals including students, university leaders, and community and organization leaders. The council will offer McGill’s leadership and governance bodies advice and recommendations to support decision-making. “Indigenous governance is fundamentally relational,” said McGill Associate Provost (Indigenous Initiatives) Celeste Pedri‑Spade. “The Council creates a space where Indigenous communities are not simply consulted, but where their knowledge and leadership can meaningfully shape how the University moves forward. This is about building relationships that are accountable, sustained and grounded in mutual respect.”
