Description
Summary:Inspired by its predecessor, La Macaza's Manitou College (19731976), and rooted in a similar ideology as the American Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), the institute focuses on the establishment of cultural security (protection of the culture) and continuity within its programs and services. Based on testimonies and experiences of First Nations' students, graduates and professionals collected between 2013 and 2015, this article analyzes the different components and cultural approaches integrated within Kiuna's Social Science program and emphasizes the impact of cultural security within the collegial success of First Nations students.
