Wa'tkwanonhwerá:ton, bienvenue, and welcome to a world-class university in the heart of Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal.
Wa'tkwanonhwerá:ton is a formal greeting in Kanien'kéha (Mohawk language) that means "our minds greet yours." At Concordia, we offer a supportive community to help Indigenous students thrive at university. We’re proud of our reputation as a friendly and inclusive place to learn, follow your curiosity and find your path.
