Welcome to 4 Seasons: Preamble
Word of Introduction from Confederation College
"Negahneewin is an Ojibwe word meaning “Leading the way”. Negahneewin has supported Indigenous education at the College for a number of years. As part of the Indigenous Education Strategy, we will be utilizing the 4 Seasons of Reconciliation education portal. The information follows Indigenous principles and was formed under the guidance of the 4 Seasons of Reconciliation Indigenous Advisory Circle and the First Nations University of Canada. This resource seeks to ensure that respectful education on reconciliation is promoted in educational institutions. There are 9 modules within the portal comprised of a set of slideshows, videos, and short quizzes. Learners may proceed at their own pace, completing one module at a time as it fits their schedule or completing the unit all at once. A certificate of completion is provided at the end. It is an expectation that all employees of the College complete this training as we embark on our Indigenous Education Strategy."

Unit Overview
The unit is comprised of ten modules totalling approximately 3hrs and 15 min. Learners may proceed at their own pace, completing the unit in one sitting or by fitting this in their schedule, one module at a time. Each module includes a short quiz to help you retain information and be better prepared for the final quiz. The pre-quiz and the unit quizzes are a learning tool to help you retain information and the results are not shared with anyone. Only the final quiz is evaluated for the purpose of receiving the completion certificate. The certificate of completion is the only information shared with the College. Upon completion of the final quiz, your grade will be assessed and a certificate will be emailed to you and your organization's point of contact.
The portal will not retain your learning history and we invite you to jot down the unit you completed so that upon your return, you can navigate to the next module by entering through this ‘Main Landing Page’. We invite you to bookmark this page for ease of navigation.
