Indigenization at the University of Saskatchewan – Making Our Institutions Culturally Safe


Rose Roberts, Education Development Specialist (Indigenous Engagement and Education) with the Indigenous Voices shares with us the importance of the initiative. 

As a member of the Indigenous Voices team at the Gwenna Moss Centre for Teaching and Learning at the University of Saskatchewan, Rose Roberts helps faculty and staff in the process of indigenization. She supports faculty in learning about the true history of Indigenous people in Saskatchewan while also valuing Indigenous and Western knowledge within our educational institutions. Rose Roberts reminds us of the saying, “before we can have reconciliation we have to know the truth.” The university is transitioning its courses to be inclusive of Indigenous paradigms and offer multiple ways of learning.

Please note: The quality of the audio and video in each interview on NCCIE.CA may vary. NCCIE has been a capacity- and skills-building project for students and youth. They have been "learning-through-doing," learning how to arrange and conduct interviews while, at the same time, gaining experience with the technology.
