Through Biskaabiiyaang, learners interact with Indigenous land-based knowledge, technologies, philosophies, cultural teachings, and Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe Language). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project is a partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nokiiwin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nokiiwin Tribal Council<\/a>, representing five First Nations communities in Northern Ontario, and <a href=\"https:\/\/cndg.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CNDG<\/a>, a global leader in creating Virtual Learning Environments. Through its collaborative partnerships, Biskaabiiyaang is also a living archive of Indigenous knowledge, embedding community Elders\u2019 teachings, language, and Indigenous sciences in an interactive experiential virtual world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an open-world platform, learners and instructors can freely explore the region, engaging with topics suitable to a wide range of Indigenous content. The project is led by Anishinaabe professor Maya Chacaby (Glendon, Sociology).
