Nîsôhkamâtotân Centre

NAIT is dedicated to supporting the Indigenous student experience.

Nîsôhkamâtotân [Nee-so-ka-ma-to-tan] is a Cree word meaning “let’s help each other”. The Nîsôhkamâtotân Centre is a community gathering place where Indigenous and non-Indigenous students can gather to network, study and share their post-secondary learning experiences.  It is a place where culture and tradition are welcome and encouraged.

The centre is an integral part of the overall NAIT community and is committed to ensuring Indigenous student success both inside and outside of the classroom.  We encourage you to drop by anytime during office hours and experience the warm, welcoming environment the centre has to offer.

NAIT Territorial Land Acknowledgement

At NAIT, we honour and acknowledge that the land on which we learn, work and live is Treaty Six territory. We seek to learn from history and the lessons that have come before us, and to draw on the wisdom of the First Peoples in Canada. Only through learning can we move forward in truth and reconciliation, and to a better future together.
