Indigenous Health Learning Lodge opens at McMaster – Daily News

A new home for Indigenous faculty, staff and learners, as well as others who want to learn about Indigenizing health science education and Indigenous culture, is officially opening at the Faculty of Health Sciences.

The Indigenous Health Learning Lodge (IHLL) will be a hub for training and curriculum development, and it will provide a safe space with access to Traditional Knowledge Helpers and a student lounge to study and socialize. It will also be an inclusive place for non-Indigenous students to learn more about colonization and reconciliation.

Construction of the lodge, which is in suite 3510 of the Michael G. DeGroote Centre for Learning and Discovery (MDCL), is complete but because of the pandemic the grand opening on Monday, Jan. 24 will be virtual.
