When Natalie Majda discovered the field of heritage planning, it was a perfect fit for her love of history, older things, people’s stories and the meaning behind important places. But now, as she nears the end of a Master of Arts in Planning, the Environment student has a whole new perspective. Her research, which analyzes Ontario heritage planning law through an Indigenist lens, will identify policy gaps in the representation and stewardship of diverse Indigenous heritages and cultural heritage worldviews. Read more about Natalie's work toward reconciliation and how it aims to restore Indigenous voices and knowledge in heritage planning.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
