Aboriginal Student Services
St. Paul's is home to the University of Waterloo's Aboriginal Counsellor. The counsellor is available to members of the university community for counselling, academic advice, and liaising to aboriginal resources. The Aboriginal Counsellor works closely with the Aboriginal Students Association to provide opportunities for aboriginal students to explore and celebrate their heritage.
Events that are organised that are of interest to aboriginal students include weekly speakers as part of the NATST 370 course and the annual SUNDANCe Pow-Wow.

“John Eliot came to preach to the Podunks in 1657, translated the Bible into their language, but made little progress in aboriginal soul-saving. The Indians answered his pleas with: ‘No, you have taken away our lands, and now you wish to make us a race of slaves.’”

“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“Civil servants and priests, soldiers and ballet-dancers, schoolmasters and police constables, Greek museums and Gothic steeples, civil list and services list—the common seed within which all these fabulous beings slumber in embryo is taxation.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
