OTTAWA—Kenjgewin Teg in M’Chigeeng, along with the First Nations Technical Institute (which is located in the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory near Deseronto in eastern Ontario) has partnered with Ottawa’s Carleton University to offer a one-year Journalism in Indigenous Communities Certificate that is expected to be up and running by the fall of 2025.
The certificate is offered through Carleton’s School of Journalism and Communication and is key to its recognition of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action No. 86, “We call upon Canadian journalism programs and media schools to require education for all students on the history of Aboriginal peoples, including the history and legacy of residential schools, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Treaties and Aboriginal rights, Indigenous law and Aboriginal-Crown relations.”
