Dalhousie University is located in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq. We who are living on Mi’kmaw Territory are all beneficiaries of the Peace & Friendship Treaty and pay our respect to the Elders and Indigenous Traditional Knowledge Keepers.  We recognize the important role of Elders and Knowledge Keepers to the Dalhousie indigenous community and the wider non-indigenous community. In particular, Dalhousie University recognizes and acknowledges the importance of the Elders-In-Residence and Indigenous Knowledge Keepers program.
