Engineering, architecture, and urban planning projects in North America take place on Native land.

The sentence is written to be strong, to provoke thoughts, and to initiate conversation within the Faculty of Engineering, so that students and staff can think about the impacts of their projects, not just for urban areas, but also for Indigenous Peoples everywhere in Canada.

The phrase 鈥淣ative land鈥� is a way of acknowledging that the land in Canada has been taken care of and inhabited by Indigenous Peoples for centuries, regardless of the legal terminology that colonial institutions such as governments may use to describe them. In this way, all land on Turtle Island is Native land, not just ceded or unceded territory, and moreover, all projects on Turtle island, whether they be engineering, architecture, urban planning, or even academic projects and institutions, like universities, are located on Native land.

However, this often goes unacknowledged within the field at large, despite these projects having profound effects on the lives of Indigenous Peoples, as well as the land and non-human beings who reside within. In an effort to increase the visibility of Indigeneity within the Faculty of Engineering, and in keeping with 平特五不中鈥檚 bicentennial themes of Indigenous resilience and excellence, the Indigenous Inclusion Committee (IIC) began and led the establishment of the curation, Projections: Kwe.

As a collective of Indigenous students both within and outside of the Faculty of Engineering, the IIC came together to select the pieces of art that you see on display today. Of the utmost importance to the IIC was choosing works from different creative mediums, made by artists that hail from a variety of First Nations, Inuit and M茅tis communities. Featured before you, for example, are a collection of paintings, such as Norval Morrisseau鈥檚 Shaman Surrounded by Ancestral Spirit Totem (1977), photographs, like those of Nadia Myre鈥檚 Meditations on Red (2013), and sculptures, like Tytoosie Tunnillie鈥檚 Sedna. This was done to highlight the long-standing diversity of Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island, as well as the rich and vibrant nature of Indigenous creativity.

Members of the IIC hope that the establishment of Projections: Kwe within the McConnell Engineering building will both ensure that Indigenous students already in the Faculty of Engineering feel more included, particularly in terms of visibility and acknowledgment, and that non-Indigenous students will take a moment to imagine what a more inclusive, responsible, and cooperative field can look like, and what steps can be taken to move in such a direction today.

En Am茅rique du Nord, les projets de g茅nie, d鈥檃rchitecture et d鈥檜rbanisme sont r茅alis茅s en territoire autochtone.

Cette phrase percutante vise 脿 provoquer la r茅flexion et 脿 amorcer un dialogue 脿 la Facult茅 de g茅nie. Les 茅tudiants et les membres du personnel sont ainsi appel茅s 脿 r茅fl茅chir aux r茅percussions de leurs projets, non seulement sur les zones urbaines, mais aussi sur la r茅alit茅 des Autochtones de partout au Canada.

Par le terme 芦 territoire autochtone 禄, nous prenons nos distances avec la terminologie juridique 茅tablie par les institutions coloniales, notamment les gouvernements, et mettons en 茅vidence le fait que, pendant des si猫cles, les Autochtones ont habit茅 les terres du Canada et en ont pris soin. Ainsi, les terres de l鈥櫭巐e de la Tortue sont bien plus que des terres c茅d茅es ou non c茅d茅es; ensemble, elles forment un territoire autochtone. Qui plus est, tous les projets r茅alis茅s sur l鈥櫭巐e de la Tortue, qu鈥檌l s鈥檃gisse d鈥檕uvrages de g茅nie, d鈥檃rchitecture ou d鈥檜rbanisme, ou m锚me de projets ou d鈥櫭﹖ablissements d鈥檈nseignement, comme des universit茅s, se trouvent en territoire autochtone.

Pourtant, cette r茅alit茅 est souvent pass茅e sous silence, m锚me si les projets ont de profondes r茅percussions sur la vie des Autochtones, ainsi que sur les terres et les 锚tres vivants qui les peuplent. C鈥檈st dans une volont茅 d鈥檃ccro卯tre la visibilit茅 de l鈥檌dentit茅 autochtone 脿 la Facult茅 de g茅nie, et inspir茅 par les th猫mes de la r茅silience et de l鈥檈xcellence des peuples autochtones du Bicentenaire de l鈥橴niversit茅 平特五不中, que le Comit茅 de l鈥檌nclusion autochtone a mont茅 l鈥檈xposition Projections: Kwe.

Le Comit茅 de l鈥檌nclusion autochtone, form茅 d鈥櫭﹖udiants autochtones de la Facult茅 de g茅nie et d鈥檃utres facult茅s, s鈥檈st r茅uni pour s茅lectionner les oeuvres d鈥檃rt que vous pouvez admirer aujourd鈥檋ui. Le Comit茅 s鈥檈st fait un point d鈥檋onneur de choisir des oeuvres r茅alis茅es dans diff茅rents m茅diums par des artistes provenant de diverses communaut茅s des Premi猫res Nations, des Inuits et des M茅tis. Vous d茅couvrirez des peintures, dont Shaman Surrounded by Ancestral Spirit Totem (1977) de Norval Morrisseau, des photographies, notamment Meditations on Red (2013) de Nadia Myre, et des sculptures, dont Sedna de Tytoosie Tunnillie. Par ses choix, le Comit茅 souhaitait mettre en lumi猫re la diversit茅 qui caract茅rise depuis longtemps les peuples autochtones de l鈥櫭巐e de la Tortue, ainsi que la richesse et le dynamisme de la cr茅ativit茅 autochtone.

En montant l鈥檈xposition Projections: Kwe dans le Pavillon de g茅nie McConnell, les membres du Comit茅 de l鈥檌nclusion autochtone souhaitaient renforcer, par la visibilit茅 et la reconnaissance, le sentiment d鈥檌nclusion chez les 茅tudiants autochtones de la Facult茅 de g茅nie et voulaient inciter les 茅tudiants allochtones 脿 imaginer un milieu plus inclusif et plus solidaire, et 脿 r茅fl茅chir aux mesures 脿 prendre pour s鈥檈ngager dans cette voie.
