Governance + Funding

This initiative is being governed and administered by the University of Alberta Office of the Vice-Provost, Indigenous Programming & Research.

The mission of this Office is to support the development and implementation of programs, services and initiatives related to Indigenous engagement and transformative practices that respect and honour Indigenous knowledges across the University of Alberta. SILR is supported by the BHP Foundation as well as in-kind support from the University of Alberta.

Funding will support the expansion and enhancement of current initiatives and the development of new pathways to remove barriers preventing access to education opportunities—accelerating capacity building in Indigenous Nations and/or communities to lead their language revitalization efforts.
