Shingwauk Kinoomaage Gamig to launch academic advisory circle

Shingwauk Kinoomaage Gamig (SKG) is looking for Anishinaabe elders and knowledge keepers who are interested in joining a new academic advisory circle for the Indigenous post-secondary institute in Sault Ste. Marie.   

The role of the circle is to provide advice on the development and curriculum of the school’s programs, in addition to its academic standards and policies. It’s anticipated that the advisory group will meet three to four times per year. 

“SKG recognizes the value of the knowledge and experience of Anishinaabe Elders and Knowledge Keepers, and the important guidance that they will be able to provide to SKG as part of its Academic Advisory Circle,” SKG said in a media release. “We are asking for your help in finding Elders and Knowledge Keepers who might be willing to be part of this circle.  

“We would ask that you bring this opportunity to the attention of appropriate members of your nation and encourage them to contact SKG if they would be interested in exploring this opportunity.” 

The deadline for expressions of interest is May 17. Those interested can contact executive assistant Jayselen Moore at 705-998-2496, extension 201 or via email at [email protected].
