www.gdins.orgIn May, 1994, the University of Saskatchewan and the Gabriel Dumont Institute of Native Studies and Applied Research entered into an affiliation agreement that established the Gabriel Dumont College. The agreement commits both parties to a partnership that promotes and enhances the understanding of Métis culture, society, values, and beliefs by the Métis and non-Métis people. The provision of University accredited educational opportunities for the Métis of Saskatchewan and Canada is the paramount objective of this agreement.
The University of Saskatchewan and Gabriel Dumont College agree that Métis educational activities at the University will reflect the social, spiritual, economic, historical, cultural and political values and practices of the Métis.
It is envisioned that the Gabriel Dumont College will enhance the study of Métis culture at the University of Saskatchewan. In addition, the University will work with the Gabriel Dumont College to provide university-level studies for the Métis. The Gabriel Dumont College has been authorized to offer courses comprising Years One and Two of the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science. The University may, through its colleges, add other programs and courses as circumstances and resources allow. Such additions will be subject to a joint agreement of the specific college and the Gabriel Dumont College.
