Outward Bound Canada's (OBC) Giwaykiwin Program was founded in 1985 in response to a recognized need for programming specific to students from Indigenous backgrounds. The Giwaykiwin program aims to integrate Outward Bound (OB) and Indigenous philosophies and traditions. Giwaykiwin means "coming home" in Ojibwa and signifies the program's philosophy of creating an opportunity for students to reconnect with their Indigenous cultures and the land. Giwaykiwin participants come to OB from a variety of backgrounds. Some are referred by social service organizations, while others enroll with the support of their families or communities. Communities or organizations may also request exclusive contract courses. The author had the opportunity to work as an instructor with OBC's Giwaykiwin Program and in this article he describes his experiences. View document
