Students are at the heart of our work here at the Indigenous Sharing and Learning Centre!
“Being a student at Laurentian has been amazing! I could not have been successful without the support from everyone at the Indigenous Student Affairs office. They helped me learn what it means to be a strong Anishinaabe-kwe in my community and in academia.”
- Stepfanie Johnston

Honouring the Land and People
Laurentian University is located on the traditional Anishinaabe territory of the Atikameksheng Anishnawbek and Wahnapitae First Nation. We are situated within the boundaries of the Robinson-Huron Treaty of 1850. We acknowledge those who came before us and honour those who are the caretakers of this land and the waters.
