The Tipi Teachings Program is a hands-on experience for participants to learn about the importance of the tipi in First Nations culture. Insight into the traditional lifestyle and worldview of the Plains Cree is gained by learning about tipi poles, structure, and history. There are linkages between Social Studies, Science, and Math curriculum that can be explored when raising a tipi. More information about the 45 minute – 1 hour long Program can be found at the following link: https://wanuskewin.com/discover/teachers/programs/.

“Increasing the number of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit students graduating from science and engineering programs in Canada.”
The Verna J. Kirkness Science and Engineering Education Program prepares Indigenous students to graduate within the sciences. In 2018, the program was held at First Nations University of Canada in Regina, SK. Scholarships are awarded to Indigenous Grade 11 students who are invited to spend one week at universities from across western Canada. Students participate in hands-on laboratory research with scientists and engineers to learn about the area of study, to learn about possible role models, and to learn about the support systems available on campus.
