χpey̓ Elementary School was developed by the Vancouver School Board in 2012 in response to calls from the community for an education that was culturally relevant for Indigenous youth and encompassing of local and surrounding traditional Indigenous knowledges. χpey̓’s students are largely Indigenous, although the school also has many non-Indigenous students who attend. The teachers at χpey̓ are each Indigenous and bring their own cultural knowledge and experiences to the school. They infuse Indigenous pedagogies into the BC curriculum with the aim of providing classrooms and teaching which encompass a holistic model of education. The school is focused on teaching “the shared worldviews of Indigenous people and environmentalists” and aims to “honour the shared values, experiences and histories of all Indigenous peoples as well as the aspects that make each nation unique.”

Kiskinohomatasowin – École en forêt est un nouveau programme éducatif s’adressant aux jeunes (13-18 ans)de Manawan fréquentant le secondaire (les jeunes à risque de décrochage scolaire sont privilégiés). Ce programme permet aux jeunes d’amalgamer l’apprentissage scolaire à des activités traditionnelles autochtones. Afin d’encourager l’incorporation de l’apprentissage atikamekw, les étudiants peuvent vivre plusieurs jours en forêt où plusieurs activités culturelles et traditionnelles leur sont proposées. Ils ont ainsi la chance de participer à des ateliers sur la chasse, la pêche, la préparation de produits d’érable et de montage de tentes. Les jeunes filles et garçons du secondaire peuvent, au cours de quelques jours, partir en compagnie d’adultes sur le territoire (le Nitaskinan) afin de renouer avec le mode de vie des ancêtres et se déconnecter de la technologie. Cet éloignement semble bénéfique car il permet aux jeunes de s’ouvrir et de discuter des différents aspects de leur vie.
