Mikana

Mikana, which means path in the Anishinabe language, is an Indigenous non-profit organization whose mission is to work towards social change by educating different audiences on the realities and perspectives of Indigenous peoples.

This initiative stems from a desire to generate concrete action against racism and discrimination against Indigenous Peoples and contributes to breaking down the barriers between Indigenous and non-Indigenous worlds.

We acknowledge that Mikana’s office is located in Tiohtià:ke/Montréal, on unceded Indigenous territory, and we acknowledge the Kanien’kehá:ka Nation as the custodian of the lands and waters on which we find ourselves.

We have 3 fields of action: 

• Partnerships and Collaborations: Mikana offers workshops and training, as well as tools and resources on the realities and perspectives of Indigenous peoples.

• Youth Empowerment: Mikana’s Ambassador Program aims to provide tools to bring together young Indigenous people who want to take an active part in building bridges between Indigenous and non-Indigenous.

• Systemic and sustainable changes: Mikana wishes to invest in partnerships with those interested in enacting meaningful change in terms of decolonization and Indigenous rights.
