Aboriginal students at the University of Northern British Columbia now have more support to help them succeed at their post-secondary education with the opening Tuesday of a new gathering place.

It's known Lhuhuhwhezdel, which means "gathering place" in the Lheidli dialect of the Dakelh language (Carrier First Nations) and is housed within the Geoffrey R. Weller Library building.

It has two classrooms and an event space for cultural events, sharing of oral traditions, art and material displays, language revitalization and circle teachings.
