Welcome Back!

Welcome to the 2023-24 school year! A lot has happened in Treaty Education since June. We held our annual Teacher Summer Institute in August. The theme this year was 'Treaties + Traditional Territories'. Scroll down to access the complementary teacher's guide.

Our team will be offering a 2-day blended Treaty Education session on October 3 & 4. Scroll down to learn more and/or register.

On June 28, the Treaty Relations Commission of Manitoba and Manitoba Education gathered at the Agowiidiwinan Centre to announce Manitoba's K-12 Treaty Education Plan: Treaty Education for All. The intent is for all of the province's school staff and students to particate in Treaty Education. To advance this goal, all teachers are expected to complete Treaty Education training by December 31, 2025.
