Partnering with Indigenous students and communities

COIL@UArctic

Partnering with Indigenous students, communities and institutions

Partnering with Indigenous students and communities is at the heart of COIL@UArctic.

Working with Indigenous Peoples across the North must be grounded in relational accountability, cultural respect, and Indigenous leadership, emphasising trust, reciprocity, and cultural humility, as COIL@UArctic member Heather Sauyaq Jean Gordon explains in this video.

We have provided a wealth of information to guide COIL partners in working together with Indigenous colleagues, students and communities:

Introduction to Indigenous Peoples

Essential information about Indigenous Peoples, in order to work with Indigenous staff, students and communities.

Ethical Considerations

Ethical working with Indigenous students, staff, and communities is at the basis of building effective, positive and useful COIL partnership.
