The University in its efforts to embed Indigenous peoples’ rights and its efforts towards reconciliation with Indigenous people has established a number of policies and protocols. Policies and procedures are official rules of the University. Protocols vary across Indigenous cultures and are not necessarily rules.
These are often principled approaches for respectful, cross-cultural interactions, and are rooted in practices since time immemorial. Observing and acknowledging protocols are one way members of the University community can establish respectful dialogue and relationships with Indigenous people, communities and organizations.
