Anishinaabe Students

Sign up for more infoAlgoma University is committed to providing an educational environment for Anishinaabe (First Nations, Métis and Inuit) students that is respectful, inclusive and welcoming.  This commitment is brought to life in a number of ways every day on our campus.

In 2006, Algoma University honoured and acknowledged this commitment by signing a Covenant with the Shingwauk Education Trust. This Covenant, witnessed by National Chief Phil Fontaine, among others, articulates a promise by Algoma University to support the creation of Shingwauk Kinoomaage Gamig, a sister-institution which will share the campus and provide unique educational programming from an Anishinaabe world-view.
