The more than 90 member schools of Universities Canada, the primary association of Canadian institutions of higher education, have adopted the following principle: “University education for Indigenous students and advancing reconciliation with Indigenous peoples at universities in Canada are core priorities for our member institutions and our organization.” Nearly 90 percent of member schools are integrating Indigenous knowledge in the classroom, and more than two-thirds are incorporating Indigenous methods in their research programs and protocols. Most member schools offer intercultural opportunities and a designated gathering place for Indigenous students. Here are 40 members of Universities Canada. Those with an AISES College Chapter are highlighted.
