Acknowledgement

Aaniin, Sago, Boozhoo, Waachey, Tansi!

We would like to acknowledge that we are in the 1850 Robinson Huron Treaty territory, and the land that we are gathered on is the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe people. Library Services acknowledges and affirms our commitment to Indigenous education by providing Indigenous resources and supports for our learning community.

Places

Enji Maawnjiding

Enji Maawnjiding “Where We Gather” is a daily gathering place for students, faculty and staff, and it accommodates special events that allow us to showcase and share our culture with the greater College community.

Sacred Fire Arbour

Outside our Enji Maawnjiding Centre is our Sacred Fire Arbour. This is where our Ceremonial Fire burns. You will see the fire burning at different times throughout the year, such as during our annual Pow Wow, First of November Feast, and Winter Gathering.

National Film Board-Indigenous
Please note: NFB has created an online screening room that offers rental service for non-NFB titles. NFB states this is their attempt to "showcase Canadian cinema produced outside of the NFB, while maintaining its mandate of being accessible to Canadians. As a result of this...users could come across films that...[users are asked] to pay to rent or download. These titles are not part of [our] collection, nor do they make up a large number of films."
NFB is currently working on separating these films from those films available to us. Over 1,200 NFB films & clips.
