Most participants could identify strategies at their college or university that support
Indigenous students in the following areas: recruitment, applying, transitioning, and
accessing housing. Many of these strategies are carried out by staff and/or faculty that
have positions dedicated to supporting Indigenous students specifically.
All participants identified an Indigenous student centre at
the
college or university, although not every campus may
have one. These spaces are crucial in carrying out a variety
of cultural events and activities that take place such as
feasts, ceremonies, traditional teachings, craft workshops,
and hosting Indigenous guest speakers.

Many participants also identified cultural, mental,
emotional, financial, and academic supports available to
Indigenous students once enrolled. Again, these supports
are mostly implemented by those with positions
dedicated to Indigenous students.
