Change Makers: Empowering Ourselves Thro' the Education and Culture of Aboriginal Languages: A Collaborative Team Effort

Abstract

The Native Indian Teacher Education Program (NITEP) is a University of
British Columbia (UBC) Bachelor or Education Program (Elementary)
guided by an advisory council of First Nations educators, UBC faculty, a
representative of the British Columbia Teacher Federation, and NITEP
students. NITEP builds on First Nations identity and cultural heritage
while preparing and challenging persons of First Nations ancestry to be
effective educators for public and band schools
