Looking for the right word?
It's important to use the correct terminology when talking about Indigenous peoples, as these terms connect people to specific nations, clans, cultures, languages, geographies, and histories.
Watch Inuk journalist Ossie Michelin explain the differences in terminology, and read through the Library's Indigenous Resources Guide to learn more!
Indigenous Directions Leadership Council
The IDLC is a collective of Indigenous and non-Indigenous students, staff, and faculty who are leading the Indigenization and decolonization of Concordia. We have created Concordia's Indigenous Directions Action Plan to call in the rest of our community to take up this responsibility alongside us.
