Understanding indigenous ways of knowing and being
A workshop led by Cowichan Campus Elders-in-Residence Marlene Rice (Hwiem') and Harvey George (Swut̲t̲h̲tus), to foster a deeper understanding of indigenous perspectives among staff and faculty to better support the students on our campus.
Whether you're a new addition to our campus or have been part of our community for some time, we believe that there is tremendous value in engaging with indigenous perspectives and traditions.
