Community Connections Program

Are you interested in learning more about Indigenous cultures?

The Community Connection Program provides opportunities to learn about Indigenous languages, cultures and peoples in Manitoba and promotes engagement with our Heritage Collection and The Peoples Library materials. The program is delivered through partnerships, activities, workshops, presentations, tours, and displays.

Our activities include:

  • Community Indigenous language tables and classes (Anishinaabemowin, Ininimowin), and crafting sessions;
  • Yearly workshops, on art and crafting techniques, family language classes, teacher training, traditional medicines and food preparation;
  • Presentations on Indigenous Peoples of Manitoba, Treaty Relationships, Traditional Parenting, Indigenous Education, Cultural Reclamation, Traditional Games and Language Learning Activities; and,
  • Tours of MICEC, our heritage collection, our programs and resources, for individuals and groups.
