The programs at the Niagara Regional Native Centre work together and Philip works to raise cultural awareness and foster wellbeing on a community and individual level.
Philip Davis is the Cultural Resource Coordinator for the Niagara Regional Native Centre and this program provides Indigenous educational services, that are focused on providing children, youth, family and community access to cultural knowledge. This is done through a variety of approaches with the aim to foster wellbeing and positive Indigenous Identity. Music is a tool that Davis uses to pass on cultural knowledge with regular drum nights. An exploration of colonial history is an important element in self-discovery which empowers individuals to learn about who they are and where they come from.
Additionally, Davis coordinates learning experiences for outside agencies (churches, community services, etc.) about Indigenous history, colonialism, and residential schools. These services help to raise awareness and to reduce racism.

Le programme Protection et exploitation des territoires fauniques, volet Premières Nations est offert depuis 2017 auprès du Centre régional d’éducation aux adultes des Premières Nations (CREA) de Uashat Mak Mani-utenam. Ce projet est unique en son genre en ce qu’il permet non seulement l’acquis de nouvelles théories, mais surtout, un volet pratique qui comprend plusieurs semaines sur le territoire innu. Le programme comprend plusieurs ateliers pratique en forêt sur la pêche, la chasse, la trappe, la survie, la cuisine et enfin, la connaissance de la faune et de la flore. La formation qui est offerte est bilingue français-innu, “tout s’enseigne selon les méthodes québécoise et innue” (Radio-Canada, 2018). La formation est d’une durée de 1320 heures et est le fruit d’un travail de collaboration entre plusieurs partenaires. Une autre particularité est qu’il n’y a pas de manuels de cours étant donné qu’ils sont souvent sur les territoires. L’apprentissage passe donc davantage par la pratique et la tradition orale que par l’enseignement de manuels de cours. À ce propos, Évelyne St-Onge, professeure et aînée du programme ajouta : ” C’est comme ça vient. On n’a pas de livres. Un cours de langue, ça serait différent, mais ça, c’est des façons de vivre, des façons de faire (Radio-Canada, 2018)”. De plus, en fin de programme, les étudiants ont la chance de partir à la rencontre d’une autre communauté issue des Premières Nations ailleurs au Canada (et qui sait, peut-être un jour ailleurs dans le monde). À l’été 2018, ils sont partis rencontré la Première Nation Haida à Sandspit, en Colombie Britannique. Enfin, bien que le programme soit récent, il démontre déjà un franc succès. Des 16 étudiants inscrit à l’automne 2017, 15 ont gradués en 2018 et plusieurs ont déjà trouvé des emplois (Radio-Canada, 2018).

Assistant Professor, Joanne Goodpipe offers courses that create leaders in hospitality, tourism, gaming, and entertainment.
Joanne Goodpipe is an Assistant Professor of Business in the Department of Indigenous Science, The Environment, and Economic Development at First Nations University of Canada, Regina Campus. Goodpipe teaches a five-course certificate program which deals with: hospitality, tourism, and entertainment management; marketing; human resources; commercial gaming; and strategic management. These courses are designed with Indigenous content, examples, and case studies, which are available to both industry and university students who, she hopes, will become proud Indigenous leaders and managers in First Nations gaming. Full classes are indicators of success and Goodpipe believes that offering this program helps to build stronger communities.
