USask represented at global Indigenous conference on education – University of Saskatchewan
Jan 29, 2026
Members of the Office of the Vice-Provost, Indigenous Engagement (OVPIE) recently had the opportunity to share their work at the World Indigenous Peoples’ Conference on Education (WIPCE) hosted in Aotearoa (New Zealand).
The unique opportunity in November of last year opened the door for connection and collaboration with institutions across the world.
“It really was a global experience of Indigenous people gathering and sharing,” said Dr. Amaranta Sokól (EdD), director, Indigenous engagement.
Sokól had the opportunity to co-present on deybwewin | taapwaywin | tapwewin, the University of Saskatchewan’s (USask) Indigenous Truth Policy on Indigenous citizenship/membership, as well as discuss her doctoral research on Indigenization and internationalization. Additional team members highlighted other USask initiatives such as the Building Intercultural Resilience Mentorship (BIRM) program, Indigenous student supports, and the Indigenous Summer Institute.
