Organizations

  • The Native Canadian Centre of Toronto

    Our Native way has always given us life. On the foundation of this belief we can and will build a strong and healthy Native community. For the people who come from the four directions of our nation we will make a good "Centre" and from this place we will create the means to reach out to the people to mend the hurt; lift up the broken; free the imprisoned, mind and spirit. To challenge the young, strengthen the families; respect the elders - past, present and future. We will do this by honouring the Native way life way through commitment to self-determination through striving for a life of quality and by moving toward the empowerment of community.
  • Arctic Indigenous Youth Alliance

    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.
  • The Indigenous Peoples Program

    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.
