The First Peoples' House is dedicated to providing support for First Nations (status and non‐status), Inuit and Métis students at McGill, by establishing a sense of community and a voice to Aboriginal students who have left their home communities in order to pursue their education.
Our goals are:
- To help increase the admission and retention rates of Aboriginal students studying at McGill.
- To promote and increase the accessibility of Student Services at McGill to Aboriginal students.
- To meet the concerns of Aboriginal communities which include educational programming and policies which are culturally relevant to Aboriginal peoples.
- To raise awareness within the McGill University community regarding the past, present, and future aspirations of Aboriginal peoples through the promotion of activities that encourage personal, social, intellectual, and cultural interactions between Aboriginal and McGill students and staff.
- Collaborate and engage with the McGill, local and national Aboriginal communities to support Native student issues.
- To ensure and enhance the continuity and prosperity of First Peoples’ House services
