Bringing Back Culture & Tradition through KTEI’s Elders-in-Residence Program
The Elder-in-Residence Program is provided to enhance student life and to pay tribute to mother earth, our teachings, and traditions while adding to our philosophy of Cultural Awareness.The intention of the Elder in Residence Program is to introduce cultural awareness as part of the student learning environment in attaining their goals for the upcoming year. The Elders-in-Residence Program provides students with direct one-on-one access to Elders during the academic year, through scheduled ‘guidance days’. Elders are not only knowledgeable about Aboriginal issues, cultures, and current concerns but are also involved in their communities as cultural teachers and workers bridging gaps within both their communities, and between the mainstream society and Aboriginal communities. The Elders-in-Residence Program also offers Monthly Cultural Workshops. Teachings on Anishinaabe culture and history including such topics as Gimaa Giizhgak, the Medicine Wheel, Naming Ceremony, Clans and Governance, Stages of Life and Oppression of the Anishinaabek People. Guidelines for Elders-in-Residence As one of the primary sources of traditional cultural knowledge, Native Elders bear the responsibility to share and pass on that knowledge in ways that are compatible with traditional teachings and practices. |
