Mínwastánikéwin Truth and Reconciliation Award
Application Type:General RRC Polytech Application (Login Required)
Categories:General Awards, Indigenous Student Awards

Valued at $1,000, the Mínwastánikéwin Truth and Reconciliation Award aims to combat the long-lasting intergenerational impacts that Indigenous people face on their journey towards success in post-secondary education. Mínwastánikéwin is a Cree word that means ‘to set it right.’  This award was made possible through the generous support of RRC Polytech students, staff and faculty supporting campaigns at the RRC Polytech Campus Store that bring awareness to Truth and Reconciliation and Indigenous issues such as Orange Shirt Day: Every Child Matters and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Honouring and Awareness Day. We know that over the last 150 years, 150,000 Indigenous children attended Canadian Residential Schools. We know that 90% of children in Manitoba’s foster care system are Indigenous and more than one-third of Winnipeg’s Indigenous population, nearly 70,000 people, live in poverty. And we also know that despite making up almost 17% of the provincial population, Indigenous peoples are typically underrepresented in post-secondary institutions.

This award is available to RRC Polytech Indigenous full-time students who have a stake in Truth and Reconciliation and a personal connection to the international effects of colonialism. Recipients will be selected based on an essay response on what Truth and Reconciliation means to you.  To be eligible, applicants are required to submit a General RRC Polytech Application, proof of Indigenous heritage, and a one-page essay submission. Deadline for applications is January 31st.  Please note the name of the award to enter on the application form and have additional required documents ready to upload.
