The Nehiyaw Pimatisiwin Cree Language and Culture Program provides students with an opportunity to learn and use language in meaningful and purposeful ways. The program explores language as a primary means by which cultural information is transmitted.  Students participate in ceremonies that provide valuable insights and teachings about the interconnectedness of all things which gives balance to life - living in harmony with oneself, others, and the global community.

Students receive instruction as prescribed by Alberta Education. In addition, the delivery of subject-area content, language instruction, and cultural teaching occurs concurrently.
