Seasonal Land-Based Youth Education Gathering

The Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre Inc. would like to invite you to participate in the Annual MFNERC Seasonal Land-Based Youth Education Gathering (Winter/Spring) being held at Neil Dennis Kematch Memorial School in Sapotaweyak Cree Nation, Manitoba on April 28th to May 1st, 2025.

Open to middle years and high school students!

Please note that MFNERC will not be responsible for any costs associated with travel-related expenses. Appropriate winter/spring wear is strongly encouraged due to unpredictable weather conditions. Some events and activities will be held outdoors and, on the land, and water. We highly recommend that
participants/chaperones and teachers bring appropriate clothing.

Purpose

The purpose of the land-based education workshops and events is to provide our youth with team-building skills and knowledge of how we, as First Nations people, used animals, trees, water and made tools from the land for all aspects of life. These skills can be in the form of teamwork, hunting, animal preparation, and using essential parts of the animal as tools or instruments required for everyday tasks. The participants will experience seasonal harvesting of foods & medicines. We also want to teach the youth the importance of participating in events our people used to do before colonization. The event will be fun, friendly, and educational.
