The Pic River Secondary program offers students an opportunity to meet their educational requirements by participating in a canoe trip in their traditional territory.

Pic River First Nation’s Director of Education, Lisa Michano-Courchene, discusses about the Pic River Secondary program that allows students to attain their education, in a setting that better meets their individual needs, in their home community. The community creates a summer program in which students and community members prepare for and embark on a canoe trip in their traditional territory. This program is accredited and the students can receive a credit towards their diploma for being a part of this summer course.

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.
