Summary
In March of this year, the IndigenERA Lab officially launched with a celebration with community, friends, colleagues, and research partners from across Turtle Island.
In March of 2025, we opened our doors to the University of Guelph community and beyond for the official IndigenERA Lab launch! Joined by community partners, research collaborators, academic colleagues, research staff, friends, family, and the President of UofG, Dr. Rene Van Acker, we shared in ceremony, good food, and research discussions. The lab’s mural, titled “The Relationships We Carry,” was officially unveiled. IndigenERA Students presented their IHERA research and work. Thank you to our friends from across Turtle Island who helped make this such a special day, by attending the event both in-person and virtually!
The IndigenERA Lab has been funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation (John R. Evans Leaders Fund) and the Ministry of Colleges and Universities in Ontario in 2022. The IndigenERA extends gratitude to everyone at the University of Guelph who has helped with the establishment of the lab.
Here are some photos from our time spent together.
