About this programme
This certificate is part of a unique partnership between First Nations and Indigenous Studies and Dechinta Centre for Research and Learning. The certificate offers students an experiential, intensive land-based program in Denendeh (Northwest Territories).

The Dechinta certificate is designed and delivered in collaboration with academic and community faculty, including Indigenous Elders, cultural experts, and UBC professors.
