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.

The curriculum of the land based program focuses on fall, winter, and spring seasonal teachings with input and support from Cree Elders. Thomson includes content from the Elders when he is creating his annual teaching plans. The school is looking to expand the land based program to target students with behavioural and academic issues in the classroom. Students will be chosen to participate in the land based program in order to achieve specific objectives and then they would be reintegrated into the classroom.
