Through respect, commitment and collaborations with the Indigenous community we have created effective and efficient programs. Our programs that are delivered in a relevant, supportive and culturally sensitive manner, have proven to be very successful. As we progress and build on good practices we continue to offer appropriate, current, and relevant programs through continued evaluation of program curriculum, procedures, priorities, direction and feedback received from; instructors, practicum hosts, students, RIEL Institute board members, Steering committee members and committee members at large.
