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.

Le Chemin des Mille Rêves, Puamun Meskenu, est une organisation créée par Dr Stanley Vollant qui oeuvre, depuis 2016, à développer les quatre dimensions du mieux-être des jeunes autochtones, soit les dimensions mentales, physiques, émotionnelles et spirituelles. L’organisation du Chemin des Mille Rêves fut fondé après que Dr Vollant ait parcouru, à la marche, près de 6 000 km « à travers le territoire des premiers peuples » (Le Chemin des Mille Rêves, 2017). L’homme s’est alors engagé à agir pour l’amélioration des conditions de vie et pour la construction ou la reconstruction des Autochtones, c’est-à-dire « [qu’ils] se développent à leur plein potentiel et [qu’ils ]contribuent à leur mieux-être collectif » (Le Chemin des Mille Rêves, 2017). L’organisme Le Chemin des Mille Rêves a pour mission d’inspirer et d’appuyer les Autochtones, particulièrement les jeunes âgés de 25 ans et moins, afin qu’ils développement leur plein potentiel et qu’ils tracent eux-même leur « chemin des mille rêves ». L’organisme oriente ses activités selon une vision holistique que représente la roue du mieux-être utilisée par les communautés autochtones. Cette roue se compose de quatre axes : « – Mental : inspirer les Premières Nations, Métis et Inuits grâce à des modèles de persévérance; – Physique : Améliorer la santé; – Émotionnel : Rassembler les communautés et les générations; – Spirituel : Promouvoir les valeurs autochtones et favoriser une meilleure compréhension interculturelle » (Le Chemin des Mille Rêves, 2017). Selon cette vision, ces quatre axes forment un tout et s’équilibrent. Ainsi, en optant pour cette approche, Le Chemin des Mille Rêves valorise une vision d’ensemble pour ses interventions. Sur le site internet de l’organisme, divers outils pédagogiques sont d’ailleurs offerts et s’adressent aux élèves du primaire et leurs enseignants (http://www.innu-meshkenu.com/fr/les-mille-reves/trousse-pedagogique).
