Our Mission

 

At Ohketeau we value community, Culture, collaboration and the overall health and wellbeing of all Indigenous Peoples from the unborn to the Elders in our community.

Our ancestral teachings intentionally center the importance of caretaking the land and our Traditional stories that have passed down orally, teaching us that all life is sacred.

The continuance of intergenerational practices of being in Right relationship and in reciprocity with the land which sustains us is at the foundation of our work.

What do we offer?

Workshops

  • Cultural education

  • Cultural programming

  • Live performances

  • Historical discussions

  • Indigenous wellness programming

Ohketeau allows for the opportunity for interdisciplinary education through cultural workshops,  dance, music, art, indoor and outdoor, activities that allows participants the opportunity to fully express their talents.

At Ohketeau we believe teaching and learning is a relationship of reciprocity. The interaction with teacher and participant will be one that  recognizes each others abilities  while also exploring new ways to express our culture.

In addition, our mission is to provide a safe, rewarding and enriching experience for the Indigenous community of the region.
