Indigenous Achievement Week 2024: Celebrating Métis, First Nations, and Inuit Successes at the University of Saskatchewan and SDG Week 2024

Indigenous Achievement Week (IAW) is an annual event at the University of Saskatchewan that celebrates the achievements and contributions of Métis, First Nations, and Inuit students, staff, faculty, and alumni. This year’s IAW is scheduled for March 4 to 8, 2024.

The week begins with a grounding circle to start things off in a good way, acknowledging the significance of traditional Indigenous practices and values. Throughout the week, there are various events and activities to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of Indigenous individuals within the university community.

One of the highlights of IAW is the Indigenous Student Achievement Awards Ceremony, which takes place on Wednesday, March 6, at Marquis Hall. The awards honor Indigenous students for their academic achievement, community engagement, leadership, research, and resiliency. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the hard work and dedication of these students and to inspire others to follow in their footsteps.

Additionally, there are opportunities for learning and growth during IAW. For example, individuals can sign up for the 2024 Level 1 Indigenous Awareness Training: The History of Indigenous Peoples in Saskatchewan, which will take place in Regina on April 3. This training provides valuable insights into the history and culture of Indigenous peoples in Saskatchewan, promoting understanding and reconciliation.

Saskatchewan Polytechnic has also introduced a new Indigenous Student Success Strategy (2024-29) called ‘Wichitowin ahci kaskihtamâsowin ati nikan,’ which means ‘helping each other with success for the future’ in Michif. This strategy aims to support the academic and personal success of Indigenous students at the institution, reflecting a commitment to inclusivity and diversity.

Take part in the Treaty Learning Journey Series: Contemporary Treaty Issues Developed by the Office of the Treaty Commissioner, join us for the fourth installment of the Treaty Learning Journey series Department of Agriculture March 7.

IAW is an important opportunity to recognize and celebrate the achievements of Indigenous individuals within the university community. It’s a chance to honor their contributions, promote understanding, and inspire future generations to strive for excellence.
