Kapawe’no First Nation – At KFN Collegiate and its schools, students participate in an early morning session focused on daily life as nêhiyêwak. Nêhiyawêwin Isihcikêwin emphasizes on all aspects of pimâchimowin (lifestyle).
With our statement of “kiskêyihtamowin wîhkâc yahki (Knowledge ever increasing), the program highlights the importance of nêhiyêwak perspectives and involvement in lifelong learning content. This approach has encouraged students at KFN Collegiate and its schools to engage with their heritage, language actively, fostering a sense of pride and identity.
These early morning (8:15am) sessions not only enhance nêhiyawêwin skills but also promote cultural understanding and community values among learners. Through participation in the morning activities, students are empowered to share their experiences and continue the tradition of their ancestors. This sets the tone and enhances nêhiyawêwin conversations students have throughout the day. Absolute greatness!
