Land Acknowledgment:
“We respectfully acknowledge that we are on the treaty and traditional territory of the Michi Saagiig Anishinaabeg. We offer our gratitude to the First Peoples for their care for, and teachings about, our earth and our relations. May we honour those teachings.”
Vision Statement:
First Peoples House of Learning (FPHL) is honoured to offer cultural services to a diverse community of Indigenous learners (First Nations, Status/Non-Status, Métis and Inuit). We collaborate with students to support their academic success, personal development and leadership potential.
FPHL embodies the Indigenous worldview of education as a ceremony of learning. We nurture a community that recognizes the voices and spirits of our students.
