Journée nationale des peuples autochtones @ ULaval

Each year, the university community gathers to celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day to recognize the traditions and knowledge of First Nations. This year, the festivities will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. These events highlight the richness of Indigenous cultures in a spirit of respect, dialogue, and reciprocity. This gathering is intended as a moment of recognition and connection, aiming to strengthen collaborative ties and showcase the inspiring journeys of our Indigenous students, as well as the invaluable commitment of our First Nations partners.

All activities are free and open to the public.
