Supporting Indigenous-led education and cultural immersion programs.
Vision
Our vision is to support the community to practice Indigenous ways of knowing by strengthening identity, practicing tradition, building confidence, and engaging the people to participate in the competitive global economy.
Mission
The Yellowhead Indigenous Education Foundation co-creates innovative solutions to address complex issues facing First Nations.
YIEF provides Indigenous education and promotion of lifelong learning in our Nation members’ languages, cultures, traditions, and practices. We support the programming needs of all ages of First Nations learners to ensure quality care for themselves and others. We work in partnership with the Yellowhead Tribal Council and their four member First Nations. We also work with the Yellowhead Tribal College, YTC’s Indigenous post-secondary institution, to support student achievement.
Our charitable organization advocates collectively to collaborate and connect with the Indigenous community to find solutions, build capacity, and implement leading standards of the highest calibre.
