First Peoples’ Initiative

The Dawson First Peoples’ Initiative is a group of faculty, staff, and students working to explore ways of indigenizing our college. The main goals of the initiative are to:

• ensure that Dawson is responding to the interests, experiences, goals, and concerns of Indigenous students
• bring Indigenous history, culture, knowledge, and issues to the forefront in all aspects of college life
• maintain a First Peoples’ Centre
• promote Indigenous Studies at Dawson

The FPI is a continually expanding group, open to any interested members of the college community. Please contact a member of the FPI Steering Committee for more information or if you would like to get involved:
