Aboriginal Students. In the space below, please provide one or more example of a promising practice that Carleton used in 2009-10 to develop and maintain results for Aboriginal students. Carleton University hosted the Aboriginal Family Festival (Children’s’ Pow Wow), the largest annual cultural event focused on Aboriginal children and youth in Eastern Ontario in partnership with eleven other community organizations. Activities for the annual Aboriginal Awareness Week included educational workshops, cultural events, performances, art displays and food. Speakers included political leaders, academics, community members and students. Campus tours and workshops were given to students of Nunavut Sivuniksavut and the Aboriginal Alternative High School. This provided a positive experience for Aboriginal students and their teachers and counsellors as they met faculty, staff, and university students and enjoyed hands-on experience on campus.
