MANS

Established in 2003 to serve the four bands of Maskwacis, Mamawi Atosketan Native School (MANS) is a successful and privately-funded K-12 school located near Ponoka, Alberta. We're a violence-free learning community that integrates proven practices of physical, mental, spiritual and social well-being into each day in a distinctly Cree environment... MANS is located just off the modern Maskwacis reserve lands, on Treaty 6 territory, which is the traditional home and meeting ground for many Indigenous peoples, including the Blackfoot, Dene, Cree, and Métis... MANS provides the Cree youth of Maskwacis with a complete high school experience-one that teaches not only Alberta university-track and trade-oriented courses, but also one that allows them to consider new options and outcomes, and to handle responsibility in a supportive environment.
