What an amazing and accurate definition for the indigenization of any infrastructure:
“nothing about us, without us.”
That is a great statement made in one of the youtube clips ( https://www.uregina.ca/indigenization/index.html.) you have shared with us Allison! And what a beautiful campus building in Regina!!
Great share Allison!
Thanks Selene! I did my undergrad at the U of R and my daughter is starting her 3rd year there. It is a wonderful campus.
What a full circle moment for your daughter and you…that is so sweet. My daughter is 13 years old now, and I´m always amazed how fast time goes by and maybe one day she too will follow in my footsteps and go to my university.
Thank you for sharing this! I can see it being a good resource for work in other places (like mine!). Great resource. 🙂 I like the personal connection you have to the campus.
