The Indigenous Studies and Community Engagement Initiative is supported by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and is designed to support the growth of the Indigenous Studies Program. ISCEI is based in the Faculty of Arts and aims to build and expand on existing Indigenous initiatives on and off campus; to help provide a nexus for Indigenous scholarship and community-building; to generate new cross-University synergies and community partnerships; and to add to strategic capacity building in areas where McGill University can have the greatest impact.
