Huron - Faculty of Theology

This June, we recognize National Indigenous History Month, a time to honour the histories, cultures, and enduring strength of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples across the country.

At Huron, we remain dedicated to advancing Truth and Reconciliation through meaningful action on our campus and in the wider community.

Pictured is a soapstone sculpture titled "A Healing Song" by Vince Bomberry. Known as a healer on his reserve, Bomberry thinks about the powers that come from the land and how we are able to tap into these powers. Music, or song, is one way. People are able to sing and connect spiritually to the Great Creator. The inlay in the eyes represents when this powerful connection has been made. The bag of healing medicines, herbs, and gifts from Mother Earth are the other powerful gifts we have received from the Great Creator to enable us to encourage healing around us. The smoke rises, carrying our hopes and dreams skyward.

Huron University is situated on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Attawandaron, and Lenape peoples, whose sharing and stewardship of the land has been governed by the Dish with One Spoon treaty since time immemorial. We are guided by this treaty in the spirit of peace, friendship, and respect.

Congratulations to Dr. Ingrid Mattson!!

In February during Ramadan this year, we hosted our annual Iftar in the Kingsmill Room, sponsored by CITES (The Centre for Islamic Theology, Ethics & Spirituality). As always, joyous spirits filled the room. Looking forward to our next Iftar at Huron University!
