Profile
Six Nations Polytechnic is a unique postsecondary organization, recognized by the community, government, and institutions of higher learning, as a Centre of Excellence for Indigenous Knowledge. Established in Canada’s most populous First Nation there is no other place where you can invest your time to acquire skills that lead to employment as well as learn about the history, culture and philosophy of Indigenous peoples of the region. Choose Six Nations Polytechnic to study alongside others who believe in Ga’nigohi:yo:/Kanikoriio (Respect and the Good Mind) values and learn together to build a positive future.
SNP has successfully delivered post-secondary education and training programs for the past twenty-three years that have allowed their students to further their education and career goals, in a wide variety of program offerings and career choices.
What makes SNP unlike any other post-secondary school in Canada is our unique ability to offer first-hand Indigenous knowledge, education and skills training to everyone who is committed to learning.
