Organizers of Indigenous Awareness Week 2018 are taking a moment to reflect back on the past week’s celebration of and exploration of Indigenous identity.

The annual conference and festival featured remarks by Indigenous artists, leaders, and celebrities; Indigenous food and culture events; and education opportunities for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples.

The week was the result of hard work by 60 Queen's Native Student Association (QNSA) volunteers, and support from departments including the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Four Directions Aboriginal Student Centre, the Grad Club, and the Institute for Intergovernmental Relations.
