Statement to Queen's Faculty on Indigenous Identity Report

In receiving “GII-IKIDONAANIWAN - IT HAS BEEN SAID,” the report of First Peoples Group on Indigenous identity, Queen’s accepted the principle that a new process for confirming claims to Indigenous identity is needed when future employment considerations require Indigenous representation. This third party, external report reflects the opinions of community members that engaged in the dialogue process run by the First Peoples Group and the recommendations as presented were developed in light of that qualitative undertaking.
