Who We Are
The Indigenous Student Ambassador Program was created by Indigenous students from Kahnawà:ke who wanted to support fellow Indigenous students studying in post-secondary education in Quebec. We continue to move forward with the framework of a grassroots initiative to ensure the best opportunity for Indigenous students.
Goals
The Indigenous Student Ambassador Program was created with the idea of creating a safe and welcoming environment for indigenous students in post-secondary. The program continues with this goal along with many others such as Indigenization, cultural awareness, mentorship and more.
How it started: Indigenizing a campus, inspiring a city – The Eastern Door
Guest Speakers Enrich Indigenous Literature Class
For the first time at Champlain, the English department was able to offer an Indigenous Literature class thanks to collaboration between Indigenous Pedagogy Consultant Diane Labelle, Indigenous Student Life Counsellor Jennifer Kanerahtorónkwas Paul and teacher Emma Gerlach.
