The Centre of Excellence In Anishinaabe Education.

Welcome to Shingwauk Kinoomaage Gamig

Shingwauk Kinoomaage Gamig (teaching lodge) is an Anishinaabe post-secondary institution (University) that has been developed by the Shingwauk Education Trust (SET). The Shingwauk Education Trust was founded based on a vision of the Ojibway Chief Shingwaukonse’ibun, which was to create a “Teaching Wigwam” with an overall goal of providing education to Anishinaabe students. Shingwauk Kinoomaage Gamig is one of nine Indigenous institutes of higher learning that were legally recognized when the Indigenous Institutes Act was passed by the Ontario Legislature in December, 2017.

Programs
Anishinaabe Studies

The nomenclature of the Bachelor of Arts in Anishinaabe Studies is intended to distinguish this program from other programs in Ontario that have a similar focus (i.e., Native, Aboriginal, and Indigenous Studies programs). The term Anishinaabe refers to “the Original Peoples of this part of the world,” meaning the peoples of Turtle Island or North America.
Programs
Anishinaabemowin Studies

Many universities offer programs in modern languages, ranging from English, French, Spanish, and Italian, to Chinese, Russian, and Japanese. Very few universities, however, offer studies in Anishinaabemowin, or one of the languages of the “First” or “Original Peoples” who inhabited much of Canada. Shingwauk Kinoomaage Gamig offers the only undergraduate degree in Anishinaabemowin in Canada.
