Indigenous ceremonies held regularly.This item supports sub-objective M5Plans for Indigenous ceremonies
The question of Indigenous ceremonies is one which is important to be led by, for, and with Indigenous community as there are many ceremonies which are sacred. The new Indigenous Centre space in the Maanjiwe nendamowinan building will provide opportunities in future years for more gatherings and ceremonies to be developed with and in support of Indigenous community. Indigenous and non-Indigenous community can contact the Indigenous Centre to request a smudging ceremony. Non-Indigenous community members can contact the Indigenous Centre about Indigenous ceremonies to better understand their significance to Indigenous communities, as well as participate in monthly virtual education programs run through the Indigenous Centre.
The following ceremonies took place through one-time events organized by partnerships with Indigenous communities outside of UTM:
- Mississauga gathering with Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation (MCFN) and fire keeping ceremony, led by Dr. Sherry Fukazawa and MCFN
- UTM supported the Water Ceremony at city park adjacent to UTM, led by New College
