About Shingwauk Kinoomaage Gamig
An Evolving Anishinaabe Educational Institution/University
Shingwauk Kinoomaage Gamig is an evolving Anishinaabe Post-Secondary Institution (University) that is currently being developed by the Shingwauk Education Trust (SET). The Shingwauk Education Trust was founded by a vision of an Ojibway, Chief Shingwauk; to create a "Teaching Wigwam," with an overall goal of providing education to Anishinaabe students.
The Shingwauk Education Trust is composed of representation from Garden River First Nation, Batchewana First Nation, The Anglican Diocese of Algoma and the Children of Shingwauk Alumni Association.

The Creation Shingwauk Covenant
Over the past number of years the need for an Anishinaabe post-secondary institution has become increasingly apparent (Royal Commission Report on Aboriginal Peoples, 1996). In May 2006, the SET and Algoma University signed a covenant that entered a statement of common understanding and commitment to establishing Shingwauk Kinoomaage Gamig, an independent and degree-granting post secondary institution. The Shingwauk Covenant states that Anishinaabe, Canadian and International staff and students must learn to respect and understand each other's knowledge and cultural differences.
