This section explores the Indigenous Peoples, spaces and areas around campus. It is important that we acknowledge the traditional territory that Queen’s University sits on and recognize that Queen’s continues to work to further Indigenize each of the campus locations in Kingston.
Visibility is critically important to creating space that is validating, welcoming and safe for Indigenous students, staff and faculty. Increasing the presence of Indigenous representations on campus contributes to this endeavour.
