For more than 50 years, Indigenous culture has been woven into the fabric of the University of Lethbridge, enriching programming, teaching and research, and creating an environment where students find community, support and success.

We are Iniskim, meaning Sacred Buffalo Stone, and are proud to celebrate the rich cultural heritage, beliefs and relationships of the Blackfoot people by accepting the Blackfoot image of the turtle as a symbol of our School of Liberal Education.

Virginia Bordeleau a visual artist, a poet and a novelist of Cree origin will talk in French about contemporary French-speaking First Nation authors in Quebec and about her work.
