Math camp: An atmosphere of respect


The program, offered by University of Winnipeg, creates a welcoming environment for Indigenous and new-comer students from the neighbourhood who have never been on campus. It offers topics such as every-day math skills, Indigenous astronomy, traditional knowledge, and language through practical exercises, story-telling, and song. A star blanket mural was painted on the Helen Betty Osborne Building to honour and commemorate the lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirited people.

Please note: The quality of the audio and video in each interview on NCCIE.CA may vary. NCCIE has been a capacity- and skills-building project for students and youth. They have been "learning-through-doing," learning how to arrange and conduct interviews while, at the same time, gaining experience with the technology.
