Niwasa Kendaaswin Teg - Part 1


The overall goal of Niwasa Kendaaswin Teg as stated on their website is, “to provide high quality, wholistic programs and supports that foster Indigenous identity formation and a sense of belonging. The 13 Moons and the 4 seasons are the foundation for Indigenous Pedagogy that is embedded in all program areas” (niwasa.ca). Niwasa provides programming in Hamilton Ontario. Niwasa is geared towards preschool aged children 2 – 6 years of age and highschool students, with highschool programming under the Nya:weh program. Families of students are included in the sharing of traditional teachings so that they can learn and reclaim traditional knowledge alongside their children. http://niwasa.ca

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.
