Elders

The First Nations University of Canada's holistic approach to post-secondary education begins with the Elders, whose presence, wisdom, and counsel are the mainstay not only for students but also for the University as a whole.

Their knowledge of First Nations' tradition, culture, and spirituality creates a unique support service.

Consultation with the Elders takes place in an atmosphere of trust and respect. This tradition helps restore an individual's self-confidence and peace of mind, which in turn helps the learning process.

The Elders reinforce our respect for, and understanding of, the Creator's role in our lives.

Each of the university's three campuses benefit from Elders from nearby communities. Each contribute to the First Nations' holistic and cultural approach to learning at First Nations University of Canada throughout the academic year.
