Cambrian College is formulating a process on confirmation of Indigenous identity. As an interim step, applicants who are selected to interview and/or who are offered employment and who self-identify as Indigenous will be asked to confirm their Indigenous identity. This will be done by asking the applicant to furnish the following:
The name and location of the First Nation community to which the applicant belongs.
In the absence of naming a First Nation community, a detailed statement of self-declaration outlining Indigenous heritage, lineage, lived experiences, ongoing connections to Indigenous community, and a statement of how the applicant or the applicant’s family came to lose their connection to the community.
Applicants are encouraged, but not required, to provide any documentation that they have verifying their Indigenous identity. Examples include membership / citizenship cards or letters of confirmation or support from community. Applicants may be asked to provide community references to assist in confirmation of Indigenous Identity.
All information will be held in confidence.
