Waniskâw Foundation

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.
