Waniskâw is a transformative platform dedicated to empowering Indigenous youth in their teens and early twenties through tech education deeply rooted in traditional knowledge. Serving as a safe space, Waniskâw fosters creativity and self-expression through digital art and coding, enabling youth to showcase their cultural heritage while acquiring valuable skills. By providing intuitive tools, a supportive community, and learning resources, Waniskâw not only equips youth with practical knowledge but also ignites a sense of confidence and purpose for their future endeavours. Our mission extends beyond skill-building; it encompasses bridging communities and promoting digital sovereignty, aiming to address the lost potential of Indigenous peoples who were denied opportunities to explore their passions and talents.

As part of our commitment, Waniskâw will collaborate closely with local Indigenous organizations and arts institutions to run workshops, ensuring our programs resonate deeply within Indigenous communities. Through these partnerships, we strive to amplify the voices and talents of Indigenous youth, paving the way for systemic change and a brighter future. We invite individuals and organizations to join us in this movement, redefining the narrative and celebrating every Indigenous voice with Waniskâw. Together, we can build a future where Indigenous youth thrive, their cultural heritage honored, and their potential unleashed.
