Building community-directed schools
The Nation’s education page dates its initial joint education authority with Ginoogaming First Nation to1997 and its independent administration toJuly2012. It describes Migizi Wazisin Elementary School’s development and the later addition of secondary programming at Migizi Miigwanan Secondary School. The account places families, community participation and land-based learning alongside classroom subjects. Its dated plans and old enrolment figures should not be read as a current school census.
At a July2025 education summit, Chief Judy Desmoulin and education director Claire Onabigon described learning opportunities extending from early childhood to adult education. Rick Garrick’s report attributes to them an emphasis on student well-being, Elders’ participation, language and a locally developed history curriculum. Onabigon also discussed a proposed language-and-culture department. These are dated participants’ accounts and plans, rather than an independent evaluation or confirmation that every proposal was completed.
