We incorporate Indigenous learning, world views and values into all aspects of FNTI. In addition to being Indigenous-owned and governed, and primarily employing Indigenous faculty, staff and administration, FNTI: ​ 

• Creates culturally-rich learning environments – cultural advisors are very involved in learning sessions and ceremonies, celebrations, circles and traditional activities are integrated into learning experiences. 

• Promotes Indigenous learning methodologies and cultural practices in the classroom. 

• Implements Indigenous Learning Outcomes in all curricula. 

• Ensures Indigenous learners see themselves and their realities reflected in the curriculum, course delivery and support services.   

• Promotes Indigenous perspectives by including cultural advisors, Indigenous professionals, alumni and community representatives on Program Advisory Committees.
