Summary from Academica Top Ten - Monday, October 3, 2016:

"“A day of healing”: MTA opens Indigenous space on campus Mount Allison University has officially opened Mawita’mkw, a designated Indigenous space on its campus. Translated as “a place we can gather,” Mawita’mkw will serve as a learning and gathering space for Indigenous students and community members. “Having a designated space such as Mawita’mkw will help encourage dialogue and understanding in our University and wider community,” says Doreen Richard, MTA’s Indigenous affairs co-ordinator. “I am excited to continue to work and celebrate with our students and community members in this gathering space.” The space will also host MTA’s first elder-in-residence, Gilbert Sewell from Pabineau First Nation in New Brunswick. “This is history being made. It took us so long to get into universities,” said Sewell. “Today is hope and life for our culture. Today is a day of healing.”"

McGill University in Montreal is being pushed to do a better job of acknowledging Indigenous history.

The McGill campus was built on an Iroquois village.

And while the university has a reputation for producing Nobel prize winners, prime ministers and astronauts.

Some say it doesn’t do a good enough job of knowing its own history.

APTN’s Tom Fennario reports.
