University College - The Founding College of the University of Toronto

For Eileen Antone, education has never been simply about instruction. It is about restoring voice, reclaiming knowledge and creating space for Indigenous ways of being to thrive. Last week, in recognition of her outstanding service to the university, as a respected Elder, teacher and Knowledge Keeper whose wisdom, leadership and mentorship have profoundly enriched the university community, Antone received an honorary doctorate from the University of Toronto after a UC-led nomination.
