Ira Provost

Cross-Cultural Educator. Blackfoot Guardian. Musician.

"Before class one begins locate your support systems, and see what they can do for you; always know that every uLethbridge staff (& graduate student) wants to see you succeed and do great things!"

Favourite Class: History of Rock and Roll (1 & 2)
Favourite Social Activity: Native American Awareness Week
Favourite Study Spot: Urban Market

My uLethbridge experience:

  • Sustainable future for my Blackfoot heritage through critical analysis of academic and non-academic work involving Indigenous people
  • Enriched creative and artistic interests through academic insight
  • Enlightened and incredibly encouraged to see the potential of many new undergraduate students and have been proud to see them continue and succeed, especially the FNMI students!
  • I am happy to see the uLethbridge begin to incorporate FNMI values and beliefs into all sectors of the uLethbridge campus and community and include the FNMI community in future development
  • I am so proud that whenever the President (or higher admin) begin all public addresses they begin with an acknowledgment that the “uLethbridge sits upon Traditional Blackfoot Territory”

The University is located on traditional Blackfoot Confederacy territory. We honour the Blackfoot people and their traditional ways of knowing in caring for this land, as well as all Aboriginal peoples who have helped shape and continue to strengthen our University community.
