Camosun College’s Eyēʔ Sqȃ’lewen – The Centre for Indigenous Education & Community Connections (IECC) and the Ara Institute’s Te Reo Māori and Pacific Studies department in New Zealand have launched a program to teach students about Indigenous leadership and learning. The Advanced Certificate in Ways of Indigenous Leadership & Learning will train Indigenous and non-Indigenous students in real-world leadership practices so that they can move toward reconciliation. The program is offered primarily online, with an opportunity for students to gather in Victoria for three weeks in their first year and gather in New Zealand for three weeks in their second year. The certificate will cover classroom and on-the-land applied learning, and will focus on Indigenous leadership’s relational, cultural, and strategic elements.
