Nodin Cutfeet: Boosting the Confidence of Young Indigenous People

Nodin: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Did you know that in Canada, many Indigenous communities are far from cities, reachable only by small planes or driving across the ice? Living in small communities means fewer after-school activities, making it hard for youth to discover their passions. This leads many Indigenous people to a choice between staying with limited opportunities or moving to cities, risking a disconnection from their culture. Waniskâw is a free online platform for young Indigenous people to create and share digital art projects and games. It connects them to their cultures, allowing exploration of various skills. A key part of Waniskâw is remixing and building on others' projects, promoting mutual support and achievement, because we can all go further when we support each other.
