Indigenous Student Experience Days
Online
Tuesday, April 13 and Wednesday, April 14, 2021

Indigenous Student Experience Days is an event for Métis, First Nations and Inuit students in high school, who are interested in going to university and/or who have already applied--and their supporters!--to get to know the USask campus community.

Over two days, participants can join in a variety of cultural and academic experiences online, and meet with other prospective and current university students, university staff and faculty, alumni and Elders.

This year's online event includes:

a keynote address by USask alumnus, Constable John Langan, who is a member of the Keeseekoose First Nation and a graduate of the Indigenous justice and criminology program at USask
a Sharing Circle with Elders and Circle Keepers
an Indigenous student and alumni panel
Métis jigging and fiddle playing
guest speakers Dr. Jacqueline Ottmann, vice-provost, Indigenous engagement, and Dr. Airini, provost and vice-president academic
an online scavenger hunt game

To help set a good intention for this event, Elders and Indigenous youth from the USask community came together to choose a meaningful name for USask's Indigenous Student Experience Days. The name that was chosen was piihtikway in Michif and pihtikwe tawāw in Cree, which translate as, "Come in; you are welcome here."
