In May 1976, the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations entered into a federation agreement with the University of Regina, to establish the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College (SIFC). The Agreement provided for an independently administered university-college, the mission of which is to serve the academic, cultural and spiritual needs of First Nations’ students. On June 21, 2003, the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College officially changed its name to the First Nations University of Canada (FNUniv).
Come view one of the three campuses of First Nations University, which was designed by world renowned indigenous architect Douglas Cardinal, who also designed the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Quebec. You will get to see the Atrium, the large Veterans Memorial Tipi, the vision painting, time capsule and art gallery.
The guided tour is complimentary for CMS Summer Meeting attendees and will be accompanied by the VP of Academics to answer any questions.
Delegates are asked to meet at the Registration/Coffee Break area at 1:20pm and will then be guided over to the university for the tour.
