indigenous
“Indigenous people” is a collective name for the original inhabitants of North America and their descendants. They have been living with us peacefully and acceptingly. As the original occupant of the land of Canada, we strive further to improve the quality of services for the Aboriginal people. This is why the vision of Canada and Red River College is to support and empower Indigenous people to independently deliver services, contribute and uplift their communities, and reach their visions and dreams.
