Iniikokaan Centre – BVC On-Site Indigenous Resource Community

Module 3 Post 4

I realize I have been underinformed and underutilizing the resources that are self-contained within my own post-secondary institution! I found this resource that was created when the Iniikokaan (Buffalo Lodge) Centre was first opened. I like the analogy that education is the modern-day buffalo for our Indigenous learners (provides for families). I think it would be very powerful to have all the learners visit the space and appreciate it physically, mentally (representation), and emotionally.

There is a video here that has both students and elders discussing the importance of the Iniikokaan Centre.
