Wampum Learning Lodge

The Wampum Learning Lodge (WLL) is an intercultural teaching, learning and gathering space at Western University. The Lodge was designed with Indigenous epistemologies and pedagogies at its heart, creating a place where Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities can come together to learn, share and build relationships.
