Department of Indian Education

    It is our goal to share the rich and vast knowledge of First Nations and Metis people.  The curriculum content we've developed is an attempt to meet the challenge of integrating First Nations and Metis content in the classroom.   The materials and resources we provide showcase significant  contributions and achievements of First Nations and Metis peoples, over the course of history in Canada.   It is our mandate to  communicate these ideas to teachers in the classroom and share in the experiences of diverse cultures.

 

Mission Statement

    The mission of the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College (SIFC) is to enhance the quality of life, and to preserve, protect and interpret the history, language, culture and artistic heritage of First Nations. The College will acquire and expand its base of knowledge and understanding in the best interests of First Nations and for the benefit of society by providing opportunities for quality bi-lingual and bi-cultural education under the mandate and control of the First Nations of Saskatchewan.
    The SIFC is a First Nations controlled university college which provides educational opportunities to both First Nations and non-First Nations students selected from a provincial, national and international base.   

The SIFC Logo

    Five feathers represented the five First Nations tribal groups in Saskatchewan: the Cree, Saulteaux, Dene, Dakota and Assiniboine. The circle represents the unending process of education that takes place throughout our lifetime. The Chief's head represents the Saskatchewan  Indian federated College's membership in the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations' family of institution.
