Kenjgewin Teg and Six Nations Polytechnic are both celebrating the accreditation of select programs through the Indigenous Advanced Education and Skills Council (IAESC). Kenjgewin Teg will launch its first IAESC-accredited program in September 2026: The Indigenous Studies Program – Certificate II. The one-year certificate—which ladders into the institution’s three-year Indigenous Studies Bachelor of Arts degree—introduces learners to the Anishinaabemowin language, Indigenous governance, and foundational knowledge of Indigenous peoples and cultures. SNP has received accreditation for its Advanced Diploma in Ǫgwehǫweh Language. The program is a two-year program where each program cycle focuses on one of six Ǫgwehǫweh languages, enabling learners to obtain a diploma in one of six streams. Turtle Island News reports that the polytechnic is also applying to start an Enviromental Science program.
