About Us

Endazhi-Nitaawiging Charter School

Located in Northern Minnesota and serving kindergarten through 6th graders, Endazhi-Nitaawiging Charter School aims to strengthen the Red Lake Nation by providing our children with an education grounded in Ojibwe values that is academically rigorous and celebrates Indigenous culture. Our school is preparing students to receive so much more than an ordinary education. We pride ourselves on creating a unique, exciting environment that embraces all types of learners and promotes growth both academically and personally. Students and families are also welcomed into a dynamic and supportive community.

​

At the heart of Ojibwe culture is the connection between individuals and Mother Earth.

Anishinaabeg (Indigenous people) did not separate themselves from the land; our Mother Earth's connection is the umbilical cord to our existence. Indigenized education is the restoration of who we are to the places we call home.

The intellectual framework will be constructed based on our relationship with the land, air, water, plants, and animals. We are firm believers in the Indigenous genius among our people. We will embrace our Indigenous resiliency through our educational platform.
