This article focuses on the creation, implementation, experiences, and research surrounding the first online professional development course for principals of First Nations schools across Canada, named the First Nations Schools' Principals Course(FNSPC). First, we describe the contexts, goals, and designing of the FNSPC. Second,we outline the complexities of bringing Indigenous values into an online educationalspace. Lastly, we describe how using the Five R's (Kirkness & Earnhardt, 2001;Restoule, 2008) of respect, relevance, reciprocity, responsibility, and relationships recasts the challenges of Indigenizing online education into opportunities for spaces oftraditional and non-traditional Indigenous learning through the FNSPC.
