Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM)
Non-Indigenous organization
Born of the process of democratization of Quebec education, inspired by the reiterated and renewed ideal of accessibility, instituted as a public, secular, French-language general-purpose institution, open to the world and integrated into its community, UQAM’s mission is to :
- Produce new knowledge, transmit and share knowledge, preserve and enrich scientific, cultural, intellectual and artistic heritage.
- Contribute to the democratization of higher education and to student success at all three levels of study.
- Contribute to the development of society through training, research and creative activities aligned with the concerns of educational, cultural, professional, social and economic circles.
- Stimulate, develop and promote scientific and artistic curiosity, analytical thinking, critical thinking, creativity, autonomy and commitment.
The INDex was created to support First Nations, Inuit and Métis in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal in finding relevant and up-to-date information on services that were created specifically for them. Our goal is to promote cultural safety and community connectedness.
If you are an Indigenous person living, moving to or visiting Tiohtià:ke, the INDex can support you in your steps!
