University of Regina Indigenous Connection
Building an inclusive future, together.
INDIGENOUS ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIC PLAN
This Land Acknowledgment is part of an ongoing conversation as we work toward reconciliation.
The University of Regina and its federated colleges are on Treaty 4 and Treaty 6 - the territories of the nêhiyawak, Anihšināpēk, Dakota, Lakota, and Nakoda peoples, and the homeland of the Michif/Métis nation.
We recognize that, as an institution founded by settlers, we benefit from being on this land. We are grateful for the privilege to learn, teach, and work here. We demonstrate our commitment to reconciliation by incorporating Indigenous knowledge and world views in our research, teaching, and studies to ensure that there are increased economic, social, and creative opportunities for current and future generations. It is our responsibility to strengthen relationships with Indigenous communities and build a more inclusive future.

Welcome to Saskatchewan Polytechnic on Treaty 4 and Treaty 6 Territories and the homeland of the Métis. Indigenous students are an important part of Sask Polytech’s community. Based on the principles of miyo wâhkôhtowin (good relationships), we strive to provide a place of belonging where all students can feel welcomed, inspired, and empowered.
Our Indigenous student advisors and support team are here to help you with career planning, funding, housing, child care, and more. Each one of our campus locations feature an Indigenous student center where you’ll find access to cultural supports, community connections, campus events, elder services, and other academic resources. Indigenous success is celebrated in our communities though events like our Honour Ceremonies. Students have an opportunity to help shape the student experience by participating in our advisory committees.
