Indigenous Culture and Language Integral to Oskāyak High School

Oskāyak High School appeals to Indigenous students because it incorporates cultural activities, Indigenous worldview, and personal supports that help them succeed in school.

Oskāyak High School in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan serves First Nations and Métis youth in Grades 9, 10, 11, and 12. The school focuses on language acquisition, Indigenous cultural knowledge and ways of knowing through such methods as treaties in Art class, traditional pursuits in Wellness, beading patterns in Math, and traditional seasonal names in Science. The mandate of Oskāyak is to serve the whole person in mind, body, spirit, and emotion. With culture at the core, students can participate in First Nations drumming, dancing, sage gathering, powwows, feasts, round dances, and sweat lodges on a regular basis. Supports are available to students in the form of transportation assistance to get to school, a breakfast and lunch program, counselling, daycare services, Elder support, social workers, nurses, and a home-school liaison worker.

Cultural Resource Coordination

The programs at the Niagara Regional Native Centre work together and Philip works to raise cultural awareness and foster wellbeing on a community and individual level.

Philip Davis is the Cultural Resource Coordinator for the Niagara Regional Native Centre and this program provides Indigenous educational services, that are focused on providing children, youth, family and community access to cultural knowledge. This is done through a variety of approaches with the aim to foster wellbeing and positive Indigenous Identity. Music is a tool that Davis uses to pass on cultural knowledge with regular drum nights. An exploration of colonial history is an important element in self-discovery which empowers individuals to learn about who they are and where they come from.

Additionally, Davis coordinates learning experiences for outside agencies (churches, community services, etc.) about Indigenous history, colonialism, and residential schools. These services help to raise awareness and to reduce racism.
