Tomorrow in the making, looking forward to tomorrow.
With and by Indigenous peoples and communities, the University of Saskatchewan will be recognized as the leader of Indigenization, Reconciliation and decolonization. Indigenous knowledges and wisdoms will be valued and positioned in a place of respectful prominence.
Land Acknowledgment
The land is acknowledged as our Mother, the Earth. The University of Saskatchewan is committed to honor and support the *Indigenous peoples, Indigenous cultures, Indigenous values, and Indigenous languages that belong to the land of Treaty 6 Territory and Homeland of the Métis. The University of Saskatchewan is committed to working towards mending colonized lands and protecting the land in a way that demonstrates honour, respect, and love. The University of Saskatchewan extends this commitment to the lands and Treaty territories (Treaties 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10) that constitute kisiskâciwan ([Saskatchewan], “the swift current”, Cree/Saulteaux), and all Indigenous people that call kisiskâciwan home. We are born to the land and the land claims us.
