The game offers an Indigenous perspective on colonization and reconciliation, aiming to foster understanding and critical dialogue about historical injustices.

A new partnership between Nipissing University and Kenjgewin Teg has been formed to offer joint delivery of the Indigenous Classroom Assistant Diploma Program (ICADP), a program designed to support the success of Indigenous children in both First Nation and Ontario provincial schools.
