Indigenous Research

We acknowledge that Algonquin College conducts its work on the unsurrendered territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Peoples. As such, it is imperative that faculty, students, and staff apply culturally appropriate and ethical research practices when working with Indigenous people, lands and communities.

Please explore the following college policies and additional resources that are guided by Indigenous research principles and ethical standards.
