First Nations House

Founded in 1992 by Diane Longboat, First Nations House (FNH) is a culturally relevant hub for Indigenous students at the University of Toronto.

FNH provides a space on the St. George campus to learn about Indigenous knowledges and traditional teachings, attend events, socialize, seek guidance from Elders and access financial and academic supports.

“It’s like home. A safe spot here, you can be yourself, your Anishinaabe self, or Haudenosaunee self, and you know that’s where the people are.” – Jackie Esquimaux-Hamlin, retired resource centre co-ordinator for FNH.
