Organization: McMaster University

Position: Vice-Provost, Indigenous

Founded in 1887, McMaster University is located on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabeg Nations, acknowledged in the Dish with One Spoon Wampum belt. Wampum uses the symbolism of a dish to represent the territory and one spoon to represent that the people are to share the resources of the land and only take what they need.

McMaster is seeking an inaugural Vice-Provost, Indigenous (VP-I)—a senior academic administrator with a proactive and wide-ranging mandate to guide and support the university’s commitment to reconciliation. This role will be central to fostering a university culture that embraces and promotes Indigenous self-determination within a Nation-to-Nation framework.
