INNER In Indigenous cultures, the gift of a blanket symbolizes gratitude and respect. This blanket, which is on the Grande Prairie campus in the B Wing near the On-Campus Friendship Centre, was presented to GPRC by the Circle of Indigenous Students (CIS) after the signing of the Indigenous Education Protocol in January 2017.
The protocol, signed by both GPRC’s president and the president of the CIS, represents a commitment to incorporate Indigenous cultures, traditions, and ways of knowing into the fabric of our institution. The blanket reminds us of this commitment and of the importance of embracing and celebrating Indigenous cultures and perspectives in our College community.
