This August, Six Nations Polytechnic showcased the inaugural Summer Institute 2026: Ogwahwęjahsnye’ (We will look after or take care of the Earth) program!

Utilizing land-based learning and emphasizing the importance of responsibility and relationships – with the land, community, and others – students combined traditional knowledge and ways of knowing with modern technology to explore the health of local waterways.
Their passion, enthusiasm, dedication, and unique thoughts and perspectives all helped drive the success of the program. Congratulations to all the students who crossed the stage on Friday, August 28, to accept their statements of completion!

SNP is proud of the work students accomplished during the 2-week program!
