Students are the heart of our school. The students' voices and opinions are responsible for the school's structure and policies. The circle is the forum where students express their opinions, and participate in the operation of the school. Each school day begins and ends with a circle. Because the school is geared to meet the needs of its students, it is critical to operations that students attend and take part in the morning and afternoon circles. To meet this requirement and to graduate from high school students are expected attend on a regular basis. This usually involves a process of nurturing, flexibility, and for some, a few tries.
The Indigenous Peoples Program (IPP) at the Extension Division was established in 1988. It has achieved recognition for its conferences and workshops, and as a publisher and research unit. IPP works primarily with organizations and institutions to provide educational opportunities and promote programs toward improving social and economic conditions for Indigenous peoples locally and globally.
The Arctic Indigenous Youth Alliance seeks to connect the vision of the youth with the wisdom of the Elders, and to relate Traditional Knowledge and Values to issues of development and globalization. Our goal is to provide education and leadership development to Northern Indigenous youth. We seek to empower the youth to engage decision makers (industry and government), and equip them to make decisions for a sustainable development framework based on the traditional knowledge and customary practices of the Dene and Inuvialuit Indigenous peoples.
