Making a Difference

Only by learning to share did the Nisga’a people flourish in our rugged and isolated corner of British Columbia. Today, we are forging full partnerships with other educational institutions in order to provide top quality, culturally appropriate post secondary education to everyone who lives here in the Nass River Valley. Increasingly, we welcome students from other parts of the world as well. ~ Dr. Jacob McKay

Nisga’a House of Wisdom

The Wilp Wilxo’oskwhl Nisga’a Institute is a community driven, student focused aboriginal post-secondary institute located in the picturesque Nass Valley of Northern BC. It is the university-college in the Nass Valley. The WWNI incorporated in 1993 in an initiative from the Nisga’a Tribal Council (now referred to as Nisga’a Lisims Government) to provide quality post-secondary education and training to people within the Nisga’a community, and to ensure the survival of Nisga’a language and culture.
