April 27, 2026
The University of Calgary main campus was filled with energy and celebration as ii’ taa’poh to’p, the Indigenous Strategy, unveiled its annual Journey Update last fall.
But, just before that event, the university received significant ceremonial items from Elders Reg and Rose Crowshoe that will allow ii’ taa’poh to’p to conduct its own celebrations.
The Crowshoes gifted in ceremony a tripod, pipe, cutting board and hanging parfleche bag that were accepted by Dr. Michael Hart, PhD, vice-provost (Indigenous Engagement), and Carol Gelette, operations manager of the Office of Indigenous Engagement, on behalf of the university.
