Is there a training program for learning First
Nations' Wise Practices? If so where would we be able to take this
program? Or do we need to mentor under a First Nation's elder in our
community?
Thanks!

Hello Melanie,
I'm not sure where you are in the world, but thought I would add to the
replies you'll likely receive regarding your question. There are many
training programs to choose from. Fanshawe College (London Ontario
Campus) has recently developed a First Nation Studies diploma. What I
appreciate about it is how they are utilizing local elders and involving
students directly in First Nations ceremonies in the region. You can
find information about it here:
