Capilano University have recently launched Chén̓chenstway, a living document that outlines Capilano University's journey of reconciliACTION and learning. Chén̓chenstway embodies CAPU's culture of equity, diversity and inclusion and affirms its commitment to Indigenizing and decolonizing education at our campuses and learning locations including First Nations languages, cultures and knowledge.
Chén̓chenstway is a living document that guides the University in supporting Indigenous ways of knowing and strengthening its relationships and the relationships with First Nations, the Inuit and the Métis. It also aligns the University's actions with its overall goals and those of the Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills related to truth and reconciliation. The goals and actions are as follows:
- to enable Indigenous and non-Indigenous learner recruitment, participation, support and success.
- to welcome and support Indigenous and non-Indigenous employees in processes and practices of decolonizing.
- to develop and renew courses, programs and cocurricular activities through the lenses of decolonization, Indigenization, reconciliation and associated external guidance and policy.
- to cultivate a welcoming university that recognizes Indigenous languages, culture and history.
- to facilitate learning and research rooted and anchored in the land and waters in dialogue with those who have lived here for time immemorial.
The Chén̓chenstway document is a direct promotion of sustainability within communities and reduced inequalities. The doument is grounded in the insights gathered through dialogue with the CapU community, including Indigenous learners and employees, Capilano Students’ Union, Capilano Faculty Association and Host Nations and Métis.
While cultural elements and underrepresentation are referenced in other areas of the report, the above is included within the Innovation section due to it's uniqueness and committment with regards to Indigenization and Decolonization.
