Carleton University acknowledges the location of its campus on the traditional, unceded territories of the Algonquin nation.
The Centre for Aboriginal Culture and Education (CACE) supports Aboriginal (First Nations, Inuit and Métis) students through their academic journeys at Carleton University. CACE aims to increase the recruitment and retention of Aboriginal students, faculty and staff at Carleton by ensuring Aboriginal cultures, traditions, and worldviews are respected and represented on campus.
