Shingwauk Kinoomaage Gamig and Wahkohtowin Development have partnered to accredit the Wahkohtowin Guardian Program. The program helps Indigenous students develop their knowledge and skills in conservation, cultural knowledge, and environmental monitoring, preparing them to act as Indigenous land stewards. Students who complete the program will receive both high school and postsecondary education credits. “This collaboration ensures that Indigenous Knowledge and land stewardship are not only preserved but also formally recognized within our education systems,” said SKG President Mary Wabano-McKay. “Through this initiative, we are creating meaningful educational opportunities that empower Indigenous learners and communities.”
