The School of Public Health (SPH) has engaged in a process of reflection and planning in its response to the call for postsecondary education institutions to play a key role in reconciliation through education and training, community-engaged scholarship and relationship-building with Indigenous communities. Dr. Montesanti led a funding proposal in collaboration with SPH faculty to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) to bring together Elders, Indigenous scholars, UofA faculty and Indigenous students in sharing circles at the UofA and a community retreat in Yellowknife, to discuss and share on the meaning of reconciliation in the academy, and to seek out guidance on how to indigenize the SPH. Our conversations centered on support for Indigenous students and faculty by offering more Indigenous-based curricula, recruiting Indigenous students and staff, supporting capacity and training in Indigenous health research, increasing awareness and self-awareness of indigeneity among faculty, staff and students through cross- cultural learning opportunities, and cultivating ethical and respectful relationships with First Nation, Métis and Inuit communities.
