First People’s House
Indigenous-serving program
McGill’s First Peoples’ House provides a sense of community and a voice to Indigenous students who have left their home communities in order to pursue higher education. It is our hope that the education that Indigenous students receive here at McGill will benefit their communities. We welcome all Indigenous students including Métis, the Inuit, & First Nations (both “status” & “non-status”), Maori and Aborigines.
The First People’s House also provides:
- Cultural Workshops and Activities
- Indigenous Languages Classes
- Elder’s Support
- Food Distribution, meals and traditional food
- Advocacy services within the school and the education system
- Listening and References
- Help with job search
- Tutoring
- Computers, printers, Wi-Fi, and phone
These services are intended for Indigenous peoples
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!
