Aaniin, Kwe kwe, Biindegek, Bonjour, Hello

The Nishnaabe-gkendaaswin Teg, meaning “Where Indigenous Knowledge Is” was unveiled in September 2017.

This sacred space serves as a place to sit with ancestors, seek the wisdom of Elders, receive teachings, explore one’s place within Creation and share in peace, understanding and thoughtful contemplation.

It can be used by various individuals or groups for ceremonies and occasions in line with the purpose of the space.

Acknowledgement: Our institution is located in Sudbury, also known as N’Swakamok in Anishnabemowin, meaning “Where the three roads meet”. This land on which we learn, work and live is in the Robinson-Huron Treaty territory. We are located on the traditional lands of the Atikameksheng Anishnawbek and the Wahnapitae First Nations, and the University of Sudbury is proud of its relationship and long history with the Anishnaabeg. We would also like to recognize the presence and important contributions of Métis peoples in the community and on this land.
