Enji Maawnjiding

In 1993, ԰AV received funding to expand and improve Indigenous Studies facilities. As a result, Enji Maawnjiding “Where We Gather” was built to enhance the campus environment of our Indigenous population.

The Centre is daily gathering place for students, faculty and staff, and it accommodates special events that allow us to showcase and share our culture with the greater College community.

Also included with the Centre is a language (Anishinaabemowin) room, offices for faculty and staff, and a small kitchen and servery.

The Centre recognizes the success of our Indigenous Education Council members and the work of College faculty, staff, and students. It also demonstrates the Board of Governors ongoing commitment to the Indigenous community and request to employ alternative educational strategies that recognize the economic, social and mobility needs of Indigenous students.
