At CBU, it's tradition to open each semester with a Smudging Ceremony. We want to ensure this tradition lives on, even in an online environment. Please take a moment to listen and watch, Stephen Augustine, Associate Vice President, Indigenous Affairs and Unama’ki College as he takes us through this ceremony and explains its importance. | Cape Breton University

As we are situated on Anishinaabeg land, we respect and recognize this traditional practice as an important part of the Museum reopening, although smudging is not practiced by all Nations across Turtle Island. | Royal Ontario Museum | Facebook
