Indigenous Initiatives

Welcome to Indigenous Initiatives at UBC’s Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology. We are grateful to the Musqueam Nation on whose ancestral and unceded territory our learning, teaching, and collaborations take place. Members of the Musqueam community enrich our programming by sharing their knowledge, ideas, history, language, culture, resources, and support.

The Indigenous Initiatives team develops and offers programming, resources, and consultations focused on Indigenous engagement in curriculum, pedagogy, classroom climate, professional development and evaluation. The team supports faculty, teaching assistants, staff, and students to create and facilitate learning spaces where respectful and meaningful dialogues can take place.
