CBC reports that two Indigenous leaders who were listed as advisors on the website of the College of Northern Canada are not associated with the private institution. Former negotiator and NWT politician Steven Nitah and Délı̨nę Got’ı̨nę Government Chief Danny Gaudet told CBC that no one had been in touch with them from the college since they had first heard about the institution. After being contacted by CBC, the college reportedly updated its website to remove Nitah and Gaudet and exchanged a photo of a Nordic coastal community for a photo of Yellowknife. University of the Fraser Valley Assistant Professor Dale McCartney also noted that the college website does not make it clear where students will attend classes, which he explained is a more common phenomenon among private colleges.
