Carleton University acknowledges the location of its campus on the traditional, unceded territories of the Algonquin nation.

Acknowledgement of the traditional territory is an important cultural protocol for many Indigenous peoples, nations and cultures both in Canada and abroad.  The practice demonstrates respect for the traditional custodians of a particular region or area, and serves to strengthen relationships.

From the Aboriginal Co-Ordinated Strategy

 Carleton University recognizes the historical and contemporary contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples to the development of Canada. We aim to affirm these contributions, incorporate them into the life of our university and build on them moving forward. Carleton University aspires to become a noted centre for Aboriginal learning and innovative research as it embraces diverse populations in a caring community.

 Carleton University will take a leadership role in Aboriginal teaching and research. This includes reaching out to Aboriginal communities, welcoming Aboriginal students to campus, promoting research on Aboriginal affairs and opening our curriculum to the inclusion of Aboriginal knowledge. This will be an important opportunity for Carleton, not only regionally and nationally, but indeed with indigenous communities around the globe.
