This one-year certificate program enhances the students' knowledge and appreciation of First Nations, Inuit, and Metis Peoples. Students study culture and heritage, contemporary issues, aboriginal languages, community development strategies, and aboriginal law and government.

Graduates of this one-year program are eligible to receive an Ontario College Certificate.

Some credits may be considered as transfer credits towards other college programs.
