The Centre for Indigenous Initiatives (CII) supports students, staff and faculty at Carleton by providing culturally safe spaces for dialogue and learning. The CII nurtures a sense of belonging for Indigenous students, and develops and delivers resources and training to educate the Carleton community about the experiences, histories and worldviews of Indigenous peoples. This work is guided by a deep connection to ancestral teachings and recognition of the Algonquin people within whose territory Carleton University is located.
