The ta-tawâw Student Centre has a resident kokum (grandmother) and Knowledge Keeper whose roles include providing: cultural insights, traditional teachings, ceremonial guidance, and personal consultation to students. The Centre also engages with community Knowledge Keepers and elders (kêhtê-ayak) from various Indigenous backgrounds to provide students with ceremonial and traditional teachings. We encourage students to visit the Centre and engage in the teachings that we offer.
