UBC’s Indigenous Strategic Plan sets out eight goals and 43 actions that the university will collectively take, to advance our vision of UBC as a leading university globally in implementation of Indigenous peoples’ human rights. The goals and actions are informed by more than 2,500 unique engagements and over 15,000 ideas, opinions and comments that were shared by Indigenous and non-Indigenous individuals across both campuses and from our Indigenous community partners. 

UBC is the first university in North America to commit to implementing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as well as to take a human rights-based approach to its Indigenous strategic framework.

The ISP seeks to amplify Indigenous voices across campus and was created with input from Indigenous students, faculty and staff, as well as Indigenous community partners. Read the 2020 UBC Indigenous Strategic Plan here.

President Santa Ono will host a virtual event on Monday, Sept. 14, 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. to celebrate the Indigenous Strategic Plan at UBC’s Vancouver campus, located on the traditional, unceded territories of the Musqueam people.
