Nestled in the coulees along the banks of the Oldman River, the University of Lethbridge is located in the heart of Blackfoot territory. We are Iniskim, meaning Sacred Buffalo Stone, and are committed to creating a welcoming environment that enhances the University’s unique relationship to Indigenous people — past, present and future.
Join us for Indigenous Awareness Week as we celebrate the rich cultural heritage, beliefs and aspirations of Indigenous people everywhere.
