Welcome to the Cultural Competency Knowledge Bundle

This knowledge bundle is the last learning marker of the Wabishki Bizhiko Skaanj Learning Pathway. It was compiled to share additional multi-media content to continue your cultural competency journey. The resources highlight Indigenous researchers, knowledge holders and leaders that inform and strengthen the voices, experiences and brilliance of Indigenous Knowledges. We encourage lifelong learning and this marker will be periodically updated to build upon our individual and collective cultural competency knowledge bundles.
