Kenjgewin Teg Educational Institute (KTEI) is an Aboriginal-owned and controlled post-secondary institution at M'Chigeeng First Nation, on Mnidoo Mnising Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada. In the Ojibwe language, Kenjgewin Teg means a place of knowledge. KTEI provides educational initiatives to its member population of 6,800+ people and to students in the surrounding area. Programs are offered to its eight member First Nations:

Aboriginal institutes partner with colleges and universities to offer students degree programs, apprenticeships, certificate programs and diploma programs. KTEI was founded to provide greater access to post-secondary education for Aboriginal peoples. KTEI delivers post-secondary programs approved by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. The educational curriculum was adapted to meet the needs of Aboriginal learners to ensure it reflects community needs, cultural heritage and identity. KTEI offers student support services and an Elder-in-Residence program.

History

In April 1994 the Wautebek Training Institute and Nda-Gkenjge-Gamig Educational Institute merged to create the Kenjgewin Teg Educational Institute (KTEI). Since 1994, KTEI has offered college and university programs through articulation agreements with public colleges and universities. KTEI developed Joint Management Committees with the affiliated educational institutions. Although KTEI began with five (5) staff, today KTEI employs 18+ personnel, plus contractual staff.
