This online conference will bring together some very honoured guests, as well as faculty, students, and the broader community from the University and beyond to celebrate Indigenous expertise in sustainability, and sustainability research at Concordia more generally. Synchronous events are listed below but please refer to the main conference webpage here for the complete schedule and details on both the synchronous and asynchronous events.

Although this conference will be hosted online, most of the participants will be located in Tiohtià:ke (Montreal), on the unceded lands of the Kanien’kehá:ka Nation, one of the founding nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. If you are not in Tiohtià:ke, you can find out whose land you are on here.

PARTICIPANTS ARE EXPECTED TO TREAT EACH OTHER WITH CONSIDERATION AND RESPECT. FOR THE DETAILED CODE OF CONDUCT, CLICK HERE.
