Helen Betty Osborne Ininew Resource Centre Land Based Program

Nisichawayasi Nehetho Culture and Education Authority (NNCEA) Culture Camp
With continued land-based education from NNCEA and supports from other local organizations (Country Foods, Jordans Principal, Wellness etc.) our team goals are to engage more students from NNCEA and improve the consistency of land-based education. NNCEA’s new Culture Camp will be one of our main land-based education centers and with help from local peoples/organizations, this program has no limits. We are excited for this opportunity and believe that the land-based program will create successful students. See schedule of events here.
