Canadian Pacific Aboriginal MA Leadership Scholarship

In 2009 Trinity Western University launched an Indigenous Peoples Task Force with a mandate to establish better and supportive relations with First Nations communities.  MA Leadership Adjunct Professor Paul Kariya, who sits on the Task Force and is a researcher of salmon sustainability and aboriginal community economic development, is committed to developing such projects.  “We wanted to share our university resources to assist Indigenous peoples with their development and advancement,” says Kariya.

“For First Nations to secure their rightful place in Canada, strong partnerships need to be developed between them and various sectors in society. TWU is committed to building partnerships with indigenous peoples in ways that help them develop leadership in various spheres. The CP Aboriginal MA Leadership Scholarship is a great example of the private business sector partnering with TWU to assist the University in fulfilling its role,” says Kariya.
