craft & CREATIVITY WORKSHOPS
SHARING INDIGENOUS VALUES AND TRADITIONS
TO STUDENTS AND TEACHERS
Kina8at makes sure to offer schools enriching activities that respect the values and traditions of the First Nations .
For us, it is important to meet the students , but also the teaching staff and school principals . This is why we offer a range of workshops and awareness days designed specifically for these different clienteles.
for primary & secondary students:
INDIGENOUS DANCES
Thanks to the involvement of various Aboriginal artists, we offer dance workshops punctuated by moments of interaction with the students. The artist explains why he/she chose to reconnect with his/her Aboriginal origins through dance and gives simple information on the history of his/her nation. The workshop ends with moments of singing and dancing with the whole group.
An activity that enriches and refreshes!

for teachers & management teams:
Now that we are teaching the History of Canada differently in our institutions, are we really sure that we are transmitting a teaching that is faithful to the Aboriginal reality?
The awareness days set up by Kina8at provide a powerful and rejuvenating incursion into the world of the First Nations. Masterfully led by T8aminik Rankin and Marie-Josée Tardif, elders of the Algonquin tradition, this meeting will forever transform your vision of our common history, between Aboriginals and non-Aboriginals of this country.
