BEMIDJI, Minn. – Northwest Indian OIC
is announces Anishinaabe World View, a newly-accredited training in
Cultural Competency. The training is a result of many gatherings of
elders, teachers, critical thinkers and traditional Anishinaabe and
the voices of our members, who share their experiences and their
recommendations to make our communities, Native and non-Native,
healthier, safer and culturally-enriched places.
This course will give a general
understanding of the Anishinaabe. It will give learners a historical
framework from which to understand and articulate the Native
experience today. The outcome will be a sense of identity in the
Native learner and increased understanding for the non-Native
learner.
Participants can receive Continuing
Education Units (CEU) or three college credits from Northwest
Technical College and Bemidji State University, as well as a
certificate of completion. Registration fees for this training, as
with all our trainings, are used to support the ongoing services of
Northwest Indian OIC, a Native American-controlled community based
nonprofit organization. www.nwioic.org .
