Indigenous Teacher Education Programs (ITEP) from coast to coast to coast are creating positive impact for Indigenous communities and building opportunities that incorporate diverse cultural worldviews and practices. ITEPs are an integral part in restoring and revitalizing cultural connections and maintaining strong communities. We celebrate the past, present and future of First Nations, Inuit and Métis teacher education, honouring and supporting the transformative role Indigenous educators have on students, their communities, and our country.
In highlighting the transformative journeys and stories of ITEPs and their intergenerational impact, we acknowledge that these stories are only a small snapshot of a much larger narrative about what is being done within communities and ITEPs from coast to coast to coast.
Mapping the Evolution of Indigenous Teacher Education Programs
Please note that the dots on the map represent the locations where programs are headquartered and do not reflect all the community-based program locations for Indigenous teacher education across the country.
All named Programs have played an important role in the advancement of Indigenous Teacher Education, but not all could be featured on the map at this time. More to come. Featured ITEPs have been identified to reflect diverse geographic regions, Nations, Languages and cultures. We acknowledge, respect and honour all Indigenous Teacher Education Programs across the land, as well as the many people who have contributed to their development and success.

This boundary is not meant to be used to lay claim to territory to the lands outlined, but rather to identify people with historic ties to the Métis Nation.
