About Us

The School of Indigenous Learning provides a cultural environment using Anishinaabeg traditional knowledge and land based survival skills in the “old way” living style. It is a place to grow and learn within ourselves so that we can walk the good life by becoming more empowered, self-reliant, self-confident and in tune with mother earth who gives us all we need to survive.
