Consultation for U of T Indigenous Community on the Draft Recommendation for an Indigenous Identity Substantiation Process.

The Office of Indigenous Initiatives invites U of T Indigenous community members, including staff, faculty members, librarians, Elders, and Knowledge Keepers, to participate in consultation sessions on the Indigenous Identity Substantiation Recommendations Report. Your perspectives are essential in shaping a process that respects Indigenous ways of knowing while ensuring fairness and accountability. This process was developed by the Office of Indigenous Initiatives Indigenous Identity Verification Committee.

These sessions provide a space to share your insights and suggestions to help strengthen the report’s recommendations. We are committed to creating a policy that acknowledges the nuance of Indigenous identity issues while fostering a respectful and inclusive process.

Note: The current process focuses on staff, faculty, librarians, and related community members. A similar process will be developed for Indigenous students, and consultation sessions specific to students will be held at that time to ensure their unique perspectives are heard and considered.

Monday, January 27 from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM ET (Register Now)
Friday, January 31 from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM ET (Register Now)
