mâmaw nêhiyawêwin (Ages 5–12)

mâmaw nêhiyawêwin is a welcoming, play-based Plains Cree language program for young children and their caregivers. Rooted in connection, culture, and community, this program introduces Cree through songs, movement, storytelling, and interactive activities.

Designed for early childhood development, sessions focus on creating a safe and joyful space where children can hear, experience, and engage with the Cree language in a natural and meaningful way. Caregivers are encouraged to participate alongside their children, supporting language learning together.

No prior experience is needed—listening, playing, and being present are all that’s required.

Roots & Resilience (Ages 0–5)

Come play, create, move, and connect!

Roots & Resilience is an Indigenous-focused drop-in program for children ages 0–5 and their caregivers. Families are invited to explore stories, songs, language, movement, creative activities, and culturally grounded play together in a welcoming community environment.

Each session offers opportunities to support children's communication, motor skills, problem-solving, social development, and growing independence—while giving caregivers simple ideas they can use at home.
