On March 15-17, 2023, the Manitoba Collaborative Indigenous Education Blueprint (MCIEB) hosted its first annual education conference at the Victoria Inn and Conference Centre in Winnipeg. The Inuktitut word, attausikuuluta, meaning “all together,” was gifted by Elder Martha Peet to emphasize the collaborative nature of the MCIEB and the fact that excellence in Indigenous education will only be achieved when educational organizations, government bodies and community all work together.
