The Government of the Northwest Territories has requested input on Trent University’s application to offer an Indigenous Environmental Studies and Sciences diploma program. The program was developed in partnership with the Yellowknives Dene First Nation and incorporates Dene ways of knowing and being and course work involving Dene land use protocols, Dene land stewardship practices, and traditional Dene land navigation skills. The diploma is jointly offered by Trent’s School of the Environment and the Chanie Wenjack School for Indigenous Studies. The program would be offered in NWT starting in Fall 2023.
