UBCLC placing Indigenous people at the decision-making table: One year of implementing the Indigenous Strategic Plan at UBC

Please join this virtually to learn about the UBC 2020 Indigenous Strategic Plan (ISP), including the process that was taken to develop it, insights into its implementation and a special focus on its innovative, Indigenous-led Guiding Network. The ISP is the first university Indigenous strategy in North America to commit to implementing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Importantly, in alignment with UNDRIP and the TRC, those making the decisions on the Plan’s implementation are predominantly Indigenous. This is the first time at UBC that a cross-campus (Vancouver and Okanagan) and Indigenous-led committee structure has guided what happens at UBC in relation to Indigenous engagement, meaningful reconciliation and decolonization: ‘Nothing about us, without us!”

During the event you will hear from a number of Indigenous students, faculty and staff who are helping to make the ISP’s eight goals and 43 actions a reality for the UBC community.

Speakers:

• Sheryl Lightfoot (Anishinaabe, Lake Superior Band), Research Chair of Global Indigenous Rights and Politics at the University of British Columbia
• Adrienne Vedan
• Vicki Lynne George (Wet’suwet’en) is the Associate Director, Office of Indigenous Strategic Initiatives
