Do you have a story to share about your community?
Are you interested in science research and how it can be braided with traditional Indigenous knowledge? SINEWS is for you!
Indigenous knowledge? SINEWS is for you!
Women, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, including cis, trans and non-binary, are under represented in many science fields and disciplines. SINEWS wants to change that by providing early career development experiences to encourage students interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programs to explore new opportunities in the sciences or increase opportunities for those already enrolled in science programs. SINEWS is a paid mentorship program that pairs two female identifying post-secondary students (one Indigenous and one non-Indigenous) with a researcher from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). Over the course of eight months, student pairs will develop and implement a research project that falls within NRCan’s mandate and addresses an Indigenous community’s need. The goal of SINEWS is to help female students increase their capacity in the areas of traditional knowledge, Indigenous relations and engagement and provide a solid base for their future career.

It was grey and rainy out, but you could not wipe the bright smiles off the community members' faces in Tla'amin Nation this morning!
Today marks the beginning of Phase 1 of a dream conceived well over two years ago by Tla'amin Nation to be able to have a local care facility in the community. This will be a 24-unit housing block that will provide dignified, affordable, and accessible housing for their Elders and community members with special needs. Tla'amin Nation was awarded $8.8 million in funding by the Rapid Housing Initiative through CMHC in addition to funding from the Tla'amin government to be able to make this dream a reality.
Naut'sa mawt Tribal Council extends our congratulations to Tla'amin Nation for this exciting project!
