NCCIE

About Us

The National Centre for Collaboration in Indigenous Education (NCCIE) is hosted by First Nations University of Canada, which has a 40-year history of being Indigenous-owned, operated, and controlled. The Centre is grounded in principles of respect, reciprocity, and relationship, which are understood in Indigenous ways and honoured according to Indigenous protocols and customs.

We Are Indigenous

The National Centre for Collaboration in Indigenous Education (NCCIE) is uniquely Indigenous, elevating Indigenous perspectives of Indigenous education and incorporating Indigenous values.

NCCIE is created by Indigenous peoples:

to look at Indigenous education from distinctly Indigenous perspectives;

to acknowledge the creativity and perseverance of Indigenous peoples in passing on knowledge to future generations;

to amplify community voices and foster connections so that people across the country can learn from one another about Indigenous education; and

to enhance opportunities for sharing and direct collaboration amongst Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.
