Role Statement
NLP is focused on developing, publishing, marketing and distributing learning materials and curriculum that meet the needs of adult learners in a holistic and culturally relevant way.
Role
NLP’s primary mandate is to develop, publish and distribute learning materials that contribute to a holistic approach to achieving adult First Nation, Métis and Inuit literacy learning outcomes.
Although Aboriginal cultures throughout Canada follow a strict oral tradition, increasing literacy is becoming more and more important in First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities right across the country. Ningwakwe Learning Press (NLP) is one of the vital literacy resources.
With a solid reputation for distributing resources to First Nation, Métis and Inuit communities across Canada since 1996, NLP can proudly and adequately call itself the most unique and culture-based resource centre for the purchase of Aboriginal learning materials.
Principles
NLP is guided by the ‘Principle of Seven Generations’, which states that every word spoken today and every action undertaken today impacts on seven generations. As an organization committed to the reclamation of First Nation, Métis and Inuit culture and traditions, Ningwakwe Learning Press(NLP) also abides by the Seven Grandfather teachings of humility, wisdom, truth, honesty, bravery, love and respect.
