Our Philosophy
Seven Generations Education Institute is cognizant of the strengths, values and traditions passed down through the generations of the Anishinaabe. Seven Genera-
tions Education Institute honours those who have walked ahead of us, respects those who walk with us and considers those yet to come.
Seven Generations Education Institute encompasses the traditional education process by blending culture, tradition, information and technology. This philosophy
provides opportunities to demonstrate our commitment to the values, needs and learning styles of our communities.
Our goal is to continue developing and implementing an education system that always takes into account the effects of our decisions and actions on the next Seven
Generations. We will meet the needs of the present without compromising future generations and educate our people so they will succeed in the modern
world.
Mission Statement
Seven Generations Education Institute is dedicated to excellence in lifelong learning and empowerment through Language and Culture, by providing community-
based and student-centered learning opportunities for everyone.
Vision Statement
SGEI is the leader in providing sustainable, high quality education and training programs, which respect our Anishinaabe Language and Culture, support present
needs, and embrace our future of life-long learning.
Who We Service….
Seven Generations Education Institute has been graduating postsecondary education students for over 27 years! We have grown, changed, improved and hopefully
been respectfully responsive to community needs. Over 600 Post Secondary graduates have passed through our doors. Many are in our communities work-
ing as teachers, social workers, political leaders, chefs, small business owners and operators, and so much more. It has been an exciting quarter century and
we look forward to more.
We have just completed an exercise in self-determination and quality assurance. We looked at our teachings and the Anishinaabe Mino Bimaadiziwin principles
from which we work. We remember our Elders teaching us to walk a balanced life, in spirit, heart, mind and body. We celebrate Elders, grandparents and
significant mentors of our students. Our students need to remember to rely on their memories when studies gets difficult.
Our Elders remind us to walk with Mino Bimaadiziwin-The Good Life. They want us to do things carefully-Wewenin, in a good way, to ensure all is done as it
should be. Elders remind us not to be hasty, not to be Debinaak, doing things any old way. Most importantly, we never want to hear our work referred to as
Kawiin Wiiski’ isi, no care, no thought given, worse than any old way, death could come as a result; e.g. as in not taking care on the trap line, or not learning
course work well enough to apply in our future world of work. Our students strive to work Wewenin most by learning how to apply what they learn in a
good way.
Our doors are open to those who want to learn, build skills, work towards a career or want to participate in our cultural events. We hope you enjoy your year with
us. We are here to help you gain strength through a stronger educational foundation. Megwiich!!
Philosophy/Mission & Vision Statement/
Who We Service
S E V E N G E N E R A T I O N S E D U C A T I O N I N S T I T U T E
The Creator has given us the gifts we need to live the Good Life. Our Education must be designed to teach all learners to thrive in today’s
world with the attitudes, skills, knowledge and intention to be Anishinaabe, rooted in a relationship to the total environment. Within the
philosophy of Mino-Bimaadiziwin we find these concepts:
Mino-Bimaadiziwin Philosophy
S E V E N G E N E R A T I O N S E D U C A T I O N I N S T I T U T E
Anishinaabemowin—Language
Anishinaabemowin is our original way of speaking, our way of processing and expressing thought. It is our way of communicating with
Creation, with the spirit and with one another.
Anishinaabe Gikendaasowin—Knowing
Anishinaabe Gikendaasowin is our knowledge and way of knowing. It is the knowledge of our origins, way of life, way of being and
world view.
Anishinaabe Izhichigewin—Doing
Anishinaabe Izhichigewin is our Anishinaabe way of doing things. It is our way of taking action and the life skills we need as
Anishinaabe to live effectively in the world and contribute to building quality of living and quality of community.
Gidakiiminaan—Connecting to the Land
Gidakiiminaan is our connection and relationship to our land and the total experience of connecting to and relating to the Earth and the
environment. This connection is the primary shaper of Anishinaabe identity, and it is this total relationship with Creation that informs
our environmental ethic.
Anishinaabe Enawendiwin—Relating
Anishinaabe Enawendiwin is our way of relating to each other and to all of Creation. It is an all-inclusive relationship that honours the
interconnectedness of all our relations, and recognizes and honours the human place and responsibility within the family of Creation.
Anishinaabe Inendamowin—Thinking
Anishinaabe Inendamowin is our way of thinking, our beliefs, and our way of perceiving and of formulating thought. Anishinaabe Inen-
damowin is the foundation of our Anishinaabe philosophy and world view.
Anishinaabe Inaadiziwin—Being
Anishinaabe Inaadiziwin is our behaviour, our values and our way of living our life and being Anishinaabe in the fullest sense. It is the
development of the highest quality of Anishinaabe personhood, connected to the earth and in relationship to all creation.
The challenge for our students is to attend school and do the work, while at the same time managing their
personal responsibilities at home. This is very difficult but the ultimate goal is to make a better life for the
students and their families through education.
When students run into difficulty with their studies because of their education or personal demands, we, the
staff at Seven Generations Education Institute are here to help.
Contacting the Student Services Coordinator when you begin to have problems is better than allowing your-
self to fall behind. Resources can be used to help you before you feel overwhelmed. Someone will listen and
help. Also, contact your instructor and let them know what is happening to you. Your instructor will con-
tact SGEI staff and they will work together to help you. Both SGEI and the partner institutions will do all
that they can to help you succeed if they are made aware that you need help.
Walking the Good Life
S E V E N G E N E R A T I O N S E D U C A T I O N I N S T I T U T E
The policies and procedures of Seven Generations Education Institute are reviewed in this handbook and are
intended to supplement the policies and procedures of our partner institutions.
IMPORTANCE OF POLICIES
Seven Generation Education Institute offers many post-secondary programs with many components. Deliv-
ering our programs requires agreements on procedures with multiple partner institutions and staff to reach
desired outcomes.
Seven Generation Education Institute’s policies work with their partner institutions to provide direction on
how to handle situations that commonly arise. Policies provide a clear statement of rights, responsibilities,
and expectations for students, faculty and management and guide decision making.
ACADEMIC POLICIES
All post secondary institutions have academic policies that govern issues affecting students, faculty and ad-
ministration. Each partner institution has their own set of policies that cover areas such as attendance, code
of conduct, plagiarism, complaints, instructor responsibilities and other matters affecting students and oth-
ers.
It is your responsibility as a student to know the academic policies of your partner institution. They can be
found on your partner institution’s websites.
PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism is stealing or copying someone’s ideas, thoughts or writing as if they were your own. You may
quote another’s work but you must credit that writer in your foot notes. Copying someone’s work is a seri-
ous offence in post secondary institutions and can lead to severe consequences. Plagiarism will not be toler-
ated.
APPEALS
Appeal of grades vary with partner institutions. Make sure you are aware of the appeal process of the partner
institution you are enrolled in.
Policies and Procedures
S E V E N G E N E R A T I O N S E D U C A T I O N I N S T I T U T E
RELEASE OF STUDENT INFORMATION
All institutions are required by law to adhere to the provisions of the Freedom of Information and Protec-
tion of Individual Privacy Act. You have a right to know what exists in your student files and the infor-
mation the institution has about you. You are the only person that can access your grades. You must give
permission for anyone to access your grades, by signing a Release of Information form for each organization
and/or person you are giving permission to.
HARASSMENT AND DISCRIMINATION
Harassment and discrimination are cruel and disruptive behaviours against others which can be truly harm-
ful. The Ontario Human Rights Code prohibits such acts. Everyone has a right to study and work in an en-
vironment that is free from harassment and discrimination. SGEI knows the pain discrimination causes and
you should be aware of the teachings of the elders about respecting all of life and being mindful of mino
bimaatiziwin (behaving in a good way). You have a responsibility to treat all Gizhe Manitou’s creation with
kindness and respect.
Long before any Human Rights codes, there were and continue to be sacred pipes, ceremonies, dances and
lodges that taught the Anishinaabe how to walk upon the earth. Many have forgotten those teachings and
now it is necessary to have Human Rights Codes to remind us that we have a responsibility to treat all our
relations with care and kindness. Our goal is to see that no harm falls on anyone and that responsibility is
shared by all.
Any harassment or discrimination by anyone against anyone is not allowed and will be dealt with immediate-
ly. Students have a right to feel safe and not be intimidated or threatened by anyone.

FEES
Students are responsible for all costs incurred and need to inform SGEI of their plan of payment. If you are
sponsored, it is your responsibility to provide a current sponsorship letter to Seven Generations Education
Institute.
DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS
Debts and payments are a fact of life. For you as a student, delinquent accounts may prevent you from gradu-
ating or admittance into future programs. Work out a payment plan before your graduation date and deal
with your student accounts.
ATTENDANCE
It is the students’ responsibility to attend class. Students who have to miss a class must contact their course
instructor or the coordinator of the program or Student Services. Phone (807)274-2796 to let us know. Al-
ternative arrangements must be made with your instructor. Students with valid reasons for missing class
must still contact their instructor to make alternative arrangements for the class or classes they have missed
to make sure they keep up with the course readings, work and assignments. You are still responsible for the
content and assignments missed! During class, please be respectful by not using your cell phone or any social
media. Please remember that the ration of In-class instruction: Independent Study should be 2 hours: 1 hour.
GRADE POINT AVERAGE - GPA
Your Grade Point Average tells you how well you are doing in all your academic work. Your GPA does not
only tell others how well you are doing but is used at the end of your program to determine if you can contin-
ue in your studies. Your GPA will determine whether you can go on to graduate studies and some sponsors
require that you maintain at least a GPA of 2.5 (C+ average) in your studies.

SMOKING POLICY
SGEI has a no smoking, snuff (chewing tobacco), drug and alcohol policy on SGEI property.
COURSE CANCELLATIONS
Whether a course runs in dependant upon enrolment numbers. Students and partnership organizations will
be notified in the event of a cancellation.
GRADUATION
Seven Generations Education Institute recognizes their post secondary and secondary students that have
successfully completed their program requirements by hosting a graduation ceremony each year in mid-June.
Representatives from each college/university program attend our unique ceremony and present their degrees/
diplomas/certificates on behalf of their institution to the students. To honour our graduates we invite our
traditional drum, Saagachiwe and staff, Kokomisinaan, drummers, singers, and Elders. We also award our
graduates with official certificates, and an Eagle feather with a handmade holder. When funding allows we
like to reward our graduating students with a Seven Generations jacket.
It is not necessary for graduates of our programs to attend their graduations on-campus unless they choose to
do so at their own expense.
SGEI graduation committee puts in a great deal of effort to make our graduation ceremony unique in that it
contains cultural components that honour our students in the same way that our programs are delivered. We
are an Anishinaabe institution and we value our traditions and our education.

TUTORING
Whether students need help reviewing class notes and/or text book material, or preparing for tests, our tutors can help. Tutoring is available
upon recommendation from instructors, to assist in student success.
STUDENT COUNSELING SERVICES
SGEI will assist students with career, academic and social issues. Please contact your program coordinator to schedule an appointment.
PLATO
Is an online library of educational lessons from grade 3 to university, focusing on reading, writing, math, general knowledge and assessments.
PLATO is a popular learning choice of teachers and adult learners for essential skills, college, GED preparation, and University. PLATO is de-
signed to help clients develop essential skills required for employment opportunities they are seeking. By offering instruction and practice fo-
cused lessons on new skill development rather than on previously mastered abilities, employment skills that were once missing or poor for a cho-
sen occupation will be filled or enhanced.
RECYCLING
SGEI is taking strides to lessen our carbon footprint. Recycling makes a positive impact for our environment and diminishing resources, and eve-
ryone can do it. We ask our students to support the recycling program by putting recyclable items in the blue bins provided. We ask that stu-
dents respect the program by not putting garbage in the blue bins. Only deposit items that are acceptable, such as: paper products (newspaper,
magazines, cardboard, etc.), plastics #1-7 (water bottles, pop bottles, cleaning product bottles etc.) aluminum/tin (pop cans, canned foods, soup
cans).
It is very important to make sure all recyclables are emptied out, rinsed if necessary and that twist lids are taken off. Lids are recyclable but are a
different plastic so they have to be separated.

STUDENT CLASSROOMS
Your classroom is your space for the year. You are responsible for its cleanliness, for food in the fridge, for supplying your own coffee, sugar and
cream and for keeping the fridge tidy. Your books are your responsibility. If you leave your books behind and they get taken or lost—you are
responsible. Make your classroom a place where you can study, laugh and have fun together.
STUDY SKILLS AND TIME MANAGEMENT
Students are responsible for coming to class prepared, taking the time to study, and completing required work and reading. Entering a post sec-
ondary institution means that you are elevating your learning to a higher level. This requires greater effort on your part and it means taking the
time to study, read and prepare for class each day.
Managing your time is critically important because students have so much to contend with in their daily lives. People with jobs usually work
seven hours a day. Your job is being a student and you should work at least seven hours a day. Budgeting your time allows you to make schedules
for class time, breaks, study and reading schedules and working at your assignments. You are encouraged to manage your time rather than having
your time manage you.
Become informed and make sure your read your partner institution policies affecting you. Read your course outline and refer to it throughout the
year. Note the dates and times your assignments are required and the dates of your exams. Be organized, make schedules and prioritize with lists.
ANISHINAABE TRADITION: STUDENT CONDUCT
Anishinaabe students come from a long tradition of teachings given by the Elders that deal with the values one must walk with in life. These
teachings are continually reinforced in ceremonies such as naming ceremonies, fasts and vision quests, various lodges like the sweat lodge, teach-
ing lodges, mide lodges, sundance lodges and a host of other ceremonies that require people to make a commitment to mino bimaadiziwin –
leading a good life.
.
Student Responsibilities
S E V E N G E N E R A T I O N S E D U C A T I O N I N S T I T U T E
All student, staff, Board Member and faculty are part of Seven Generations Education Institute by personal choice. We come here because of per-
sonal history, community responsibilities, and educational experience and on the strength of commitment to learn and share with Anishinaabe.
We agree with both the SGEI Vision and Mission statement. Our commitment to learn and share continues throughout our time with Seven
Generations Education Institute and even as we move forward on our Life Path. It is also acknowledged that we are a Circle of connected beings
willing to support one another in times of difficulty and strength.
SGEI programming is based on the Seven Grandfathers teachings:
MANAAJI’IDIWIN (RESPECT),
GWAYAKO-BIMAADIZIWIN (HONESTY),
ZHAAWENIDEWIN/ZAAGII’IDIWN (LOVE),
NIBWAAKAAWIN/BEKAADIZIWIN (HUMILITY).
ZOONGIDE’EWIN (COURAGE),
NABWAAKAAWIN/GIKENDAASOWIN (WISDOM)
DEBWEWIN (TRUTH)
These Seven Grandfather Teachings are to be honoured by all students, staff, Board Members and faculty. For greater clarity of how the teachings
apply with SGEI, the following words are offered.
Code of Conduct
S E V E N G E N E R A T I O N S E D U C A T I O N I N S T I T U T E
MANAAJI’IDIWIN (RESPECT):
Establish and maintain high standards for yourself, your role and your relationships with others. Respect the integrity of
yourself and others, and for the work that you have engaged in. Respect all voices at SGEI, in class and in communities.
Maintain your sense of Being Anishinaabe, and honour those who are on their own Road to Knowledge. Respectfully
listen to others so that you hear their intent. Respectfully share in a good way so that your voice is heard and your mean-
ing is understood in a good way. We must respect the spirits within each of us and aim to lift one another. We also must
practice respectful silence if our words would distract rather than attract Mino Bimaadiziwin.
GWAYAKO-BIMAADIZIWIN (HONESTY):
Know and understand what is expected of you and fulfill your obligations with integrity. Be open in your relationships
with yourself and others, know your responsibilities, know your boundaries and look for solutions in difficult times. We
must hear and manage concerns and confidential information. We must practice communicating in a good way, without
hurting anyone yet ensuring issues are dealt with. Know our obligations and work to meet these obligations without
delay or interference. We must honestly do that which we have accepted to do.
ZHAAWENIDEWIN/ZAAGII’IDIWN (LOVE):
More than the capacity to care, this is to truly recognize and value Life and Spirit in self and others who may not recog-
nize it. It is more than showing kindness; it is giving of your self when no one asks, and it is looking for and working
toward an Anishinaabe Harmony with self, within community and on the Land. Many obligations come with relation-
ships connected with love. Ensuring balance is maintained at SGEI with all of an individuals responsibilities is part of
learning how to walk in a good way.
Seven Grandfather Teachings
S E V E N G E N E R A T I O N S E D U C A T I O N I N S T I T U T E
NIBWAAKAAWIN/BEKAADIZIWIN (HUMILITY):
We come to SGEI as individuals and recognize the part we play within a greater community. Each has an important role
as part of the future of the Anishinaabeg Nation. We must come to know our own abilities and limitations, and our capac-
ity to give and receive in a good way. Recognize the gifts you have been given. Develop your gifts fully for the benefit of self
and others, to help in a good way.
ZOONGIDE’EWIN (COURAGE/BRAVERY):
The ability to maintain personal strength of character in the face of adversity, challenges and threats. We must demon-
strate the strength and ability to be Anishinaabe in a world that does not always honour Anishinaabe ways. It is an aware-
ness of beliefs that strengthen Anishinaabe. It is having the skills and ability to speak up and act in difficult times as well
as good times. It is being Humble enough to admit your failings, and Brave enough to do something about them.
NABWAAKAAWIN/GIKENDAASOWIN (WISDOM):
Take the opportunity to reflect on teachings you have received, and strive for a higher understanding of the knowledge and
wisdom of the teachings. Apply what you know to do the best you can, and then to go beyond to ensure that others bene-
fit. Acknowledge what one knows and doesn’t know, and acknowledge the Wisdom in Others around you-Elders, chil-
dren, Clan Members, as well as All the Living Things that were created before us.
DEBWEWIN (TRUTH):
The Spirit of the Words and deeds we use is contained in Truth. Being true to one’s self, and to others is more than being
Loyal; it is the integrity of self in your relationships and your actions. It is your responsibility to understand the Truth of
Anishinaabe Aadizookan, of our Teachings, of our History. We are then to relate that Truth to our own life and share it
with others in a manner that Honours Anishinaabeg and our history.
