The Winnipeg School Division strives to infuse Indigenous perspectives into the curriculum through building capacity and empowering schools in their learning journey to promote Indigenous education that is appropriate, applicable, and sustainable.  All educators work together to further student achievement in literacy and numeracy.  If you require specific supports in regards to Indigenous education please contact Rina Whitford, Program Lead.
