Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond has voluntarily returned honorary degrees from Vancouver Island University Royal Roads University.
REGINA — The University of Regina has rescinded an honorary doctor of laws degree that it bestowed on Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond in 2003.
“While the university recognizes that Turpel-Lafond has been a strong advocate for Indigenous rights and child welfare, her accomplishments are outweighed by the harm inflicted upon Indigenous academics, peoples and communities when non-Indigenous people misrepresent their Indigenous ancestry,” the statement says.
She has voluntarily returned honorary degrees presented to her by Vancouver Island University in 2013 and Royal Roads University in 2016.
