Did you know that the Paterson Library at Confederation College carries an extensive collection of TRC learning resources? From Indigenous-centred books to electronic resources to learning activities, we have something for everyone to explore. Visit our friendly library staff who are here to help you navigate all we have to offer today!
Negahneewin Book Collection: A book collection that focuses specifically on the Indigenous experience, viewpoints, and history written by Indigenous writers. This collection aims to foster awareness in our shared journey towards reconciliation.
Electronic Resources: Paterson Library also has a large collection of electronic Indigenous learning resources for your convenience and is available on demand. We have eBooks, streaming videos, and articles for reading from the convenience of anywhere you have Internet access.
Maamwi Hub (The Learning Portal): Originally created by Confederation College to support faculty curriculum needs, the Hub now serves the information needs of all 24 Ontario Colleges including students, faculty, researchers, and local Indigenous communities. The Hub intends to lead in educating staff and students on the diverse Indigenous histories, cultures, and current Indigenous worldviews. Learn more about Maamwi here.
Neghaneewin Reading Series (faculty and staff): Join us on a journey of Indigenous literature from a variety of authors and genres. The reading series for the fall/winter term starts soon. Find out how to join the reading club here.
