Abstract

The University of Regina has been recognized for its supports for Indigenous students. An Eagle Staff – a sacred symbol traditionally presented to a warrior or leader for their service to the community – was presented to U of R President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Vianne Timmons by Elder Roy Bison and his son Teddy Bison, a student in the Faculty of Media, Art, and Performance. Elders, singers, and drummers participated in the ceremony.
