Neeched Up Games

Neeched Up Games plays a unique role in educating students and teachers about Indigenous history and culture in Saskatchewan.

Owner of the social enterprise, Neeched Up Games, Janelle Pewapsconias, leads youth leadership and empowerment workshops, creates apps, and promotes role playing games that teach students and adults the history of Indigenous people in Canada. Pewapsconias hopes to bridge knowledge gaps between Canadians and Indigenous people in order to better understand Indigenous history, decolonization, identity, culture, empowerment, and sense of belonging. The Neeched Up subscription pack is available to teachers to both support their learning and to help them teach about treaties and reconciliation.

nêhiyawak Summer Language Experience

Founder, Belinda Daniels discusses the nêhiyawak Summer Language Experience that takes place annually in Saskatchewan as a week-long immersive Cree language course.

The nêhiyawak Summer Language Experience was formed in early 2005 in efforts to revitalize the Cree language with an intensive summer language course open to anyone willing to learn Cree. With applications growing every year for the summer experience, wait lists have been added to ensure participants can look forward to the experience with a one-week immersion course that is land-based. Belinda Daniels shares her efforts to bring language and land together in education through the nêhiyawak Summer Language Experience’s success.

Youth Engagement at the All Nations Healing Hospital

The health educator at the All Nations Healing Hospital in Fort Qu’Appelle, SK, provides an overview of programs and services offered to Indigenous communities and schools within Treaty 4 territory.

Shane Quewzance focuses on three entities at the All Nations Healing Hospital. First, the White Raven Healing Center collaborates with knowledge keepers, addictions workers, clinical psychologists, women’s health, and crisis intervention teams to provide the community with holistic and comprehensive treatment options. Second, the Pasikow Muskwa Rising Bear Healing Centre collaborates with knowledge keepers, registered nurses, dieticians, diabetes educators, and pharmacists to engage community members with the Chronic Kidney Wellness Initiative. Third, the FHQ Health Services Youth Action Plan (YAP) is funded by Health Canada’s Brighter Futures program and has been providing second-level health services since 2010. The YAP team is driven by the youth of the eleven First Nations within the File Hills – Qu’Appelle Tribal Council (FHQTC). The YAP team provides health programming for youth in Grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 who meet during the school year. They are given leadership opportunities to host meetings on topics of their discretion, but often include themes of suicide, addiction, bullying, gangs, culture, and tradition. By engaging youth, in discussions about issues facing the community, they become knowledgeable, resilient, and empowered.
