Gilbert Kewistep educates future generations of social workers who, he hopes will, ask tough questions, be inclusive of Elders, be involved in community agencies, and effect meaningful change.
Gilbert Kewistep is a Professor in the Saskatchewan Indigenous Social Work program at First Nations University of Canada. He believes that in order for his students to be successful in their role as social workers they must understand their culture and history of Indigenous people in this province and country. We must educate the current and future Indigenous social workers, and the Canadian public about the effects of residential schools, reconciliation, and the sixties scoop. He hopes that with the knowledge his student’s gain from the program and with guidance from Elders, that they will effect positive change for Indigenous people through social work.

Lutsel K’e Dene school is working collaboratively to support holistic Dene education.
”Several on-the-land projects across the Northwest Territories are getting a major financial boost.
On the Land Collaborative, a collaborative initiative whose partners include local Indigenous governments, Tides Canada, the N.W.T. government and private industry, announced a $1-million grant that will be distributed to the 48 approved projects.
The projects include a hide tanning camp in Lutsel K’e, ice fishing in Whati, healing program for the homeless in Behchoko, a spring camp in Colville Lake, a summer camp in Ulukhaktok and, a program teaching fishing and hunting skills in Tulita.
Community advisors were appointed to review over 100 applications and made recommendations to the collaborative’s funding partners. Those advisors give a thorough review of every proposal, said Steve Ellis, a program leader with Tides Canada.
“The things they consider are, first and foremost, is this an on-the-land program that delivers community benefit?” said Ellis.
He added that the advisors also look to see if the projects have a good mix of elders and youth, address issues like mental wellness, cultural revitalization and environmental stewardship.” –https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/on-the-land-nwt-1-million-grant-1.4578650
