Our mission is to work closely with all faculties and services to develop initiatives that support and benefit Indigenous students. We provide services that support your classroom, career, and personal needs in a manner consistent with Indigenous cultures and values to help make your educational experience positive and successful.

Our staff assist in the management and maintenance of Welkaqnik, events related to Indigenous peoples, and the Indigenous Students Resource Centre.

It is important that we acknowledge Acadia University is located in Mi’kma’ki, homeland of the Mi’kmaq. We acknowledge the Treaties of Peace and Friendship and we thank the Mi’kmaw people for their generosity in sharing their homeland with us.

Support for Non-Indigenous Students

Non-Indigenous students are always welcome to contact us when seeking information and a better understanding and appreciation of Aboriginal culture and heritage, or for assistance with research projects. Acadia's "Working With Indigenous Peoples" handbook is also a helpful resource.
