Indigenization and Reconciliation at UFV: 1974 to 2074
Founded only two years after the release of the 1972 policy paper “Indian Control of Indian Education”, Fraser Valley College came into existence at a time when Indigenous peoples were imagining a system of education for their children based on their own culture and values. Dr. Eric Davis will present his research into the ways in which the Indigenization of education shaped our institution. Dr. Shirley Swelchalot Hardman will paint a vision of an Indigenized UFV in 2074 while reflecting on UFV’s successes to date and the work still to come.
