Anishinaabe Gikinoo’amaadiwin

Anishinaabe Gikinoo'amaadiwin was formerly known as "Indian Education". We are still here, and we are still the same program. In 2021, we adopted a new name in an effort to become more culturally aware and reflect the correct identity of our students. Anishinaabe Gikinoo'amaadiwin means "Ojibwe Education" in the Ojibwe language.

Since 1974, the Ojibwe Education Programs of ISD 318 has helped ensure the highest quality education for all children of native descent.

Program Vision 

The vision of the program is to work with Native American students as a whole, while providing social, emotional, physical, and economic support towards graduation and to become successful community members and practice life skills through the Seven Grandfather Teachings.

The Seven Grandfather Teachings:

  • Wisdom - Nibwaakaawin       
  • Love - Zaagi'idiwin
  • Respect - Manaaji'idiwin
  • Bravery - Zoongide'ewin         
  • Honesty - Gwayakwaadiziwin
  • Humility - Inendizowin
  • Truth - Debwewin
