Welcome to the Indigenous Excellence website. Indigenous Excellence provides leadership and co-ordination for departmental initiatives in Indigenous education and training. Indigenous Excellence operates from within Education and Early Childhood Learning. The primary role of Indigenous Excellence is in research, policy development and strategic initiatives. This is accomplished in the spirit of cooperation and consultation with many groups and individuals, such as school administrators, educators, students, parents, Indigenous and community organizations and other government departments. Indigenous Excellence works in partnership with First Nations communities and organization in Manitoba. Indigenous Excellence’s lead work is supported by the guidance of two advisory councils from the Indigenous community.
