Misipawistik Pimatisimēskanaw (“life path”) is a program that was created to revive the nēhinaw way by offering culturally relevant teachings to help Misipawistik Cree Nation (Grand Rapids) youth reconnect with their culture, rebuild connections to their ancestral land, promote healthy living, and provide an education. The ultimate goal is for the youth to grow strong (ta-sokikapawi-t) and know who they are, to understand their strengths, weaknesses and responsibilities in life.
