St. Francis Xavier University and Coady Institute stand on the lands of Miโkmaโki, the ancestral and unceded home of the Miโkmaw. We express our deep gratitude and appreciation to the generations of Miโkmaw who, since time immemorial, have loved and stewarded these lands and the beings who call them home. Colonization is not just history; it exists in the present tense. While we strive to decolonize ourselves and our University, we know there is still much for us to learn.
We are committed to doing the hard work of self-reflection and to repairing relationships with the Miโkmaw on whose lands we reside, including embracing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action and embodying their spirit in our plans to move forward with our University.
