UM recognizes that the Treaties signed on these lands are a lifelong, enduring relationship, and we are dedicated to upholding their spirit and intent. We acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and the present. With this understanding, we commit to supporting Indigenous excellence through active Reconciliation, meaningful change, and the creation of an environment where everyone can thrive.

Good morning Anny: I am Metis Elder Norman at indigenous Student Centre. I have been asked to speak at this event May 28th eg Working in Good Ways. I am able to speak at this event but was needing a bit more information on the "framework" piece. I would like to know what framework we (you folks) are considering using? As a Metis Elder, my framework would be based on teachings of our ancestors and not so much on a framework taught or acquired in a classroom setting. I hope this is understood. Elder Norman
