Loyalist College is built upon the lands governed by the Dish with One Spoon wampum agreement. We affirm and thank the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabeg, and Huron-Wendat nations for their continued caretaking of the land. We offer respect to Indigenous people from all nations who call this area home. We honour elders and traditional knowledge keepers, past, present, and future.
Our Goals
- To introduce students to the requirements of College life
- To maximize the opportunities for students to realize their full academic and personal potential
- To provide a friendly environment in which students can further cultural activities in order to express and develop their Indigenous identity
- To facilitate student participation in the overall life of the College community
A large portion of the Indigenous population consists of young adults requiring a College education. However, many Indigenous students find the adjustment to College a difficult process. This transition is made easier through the friendship, assistance and services provided by Tsi Titewaya’taró:roks.
