In the early 1960’s the First Nations people of the Swan River Valley began to see a need for a place of their own, where they could feel comfortable meeting to share concerns or just get together recreation-ally. By 1961 the service providers of the community were becoming aware of the need to provide native people with some assistance in taking their rightful place in the rapidly changing society. By 1963, with the support and encouragement of the larger community, the first site of the Swan River Indian & Metis Friendship Centre Association was purchased. The building was located at 711 North Street South. In May 1990, the Friendship Centre purchased an existing building and completely renovated it. On September 10, 1990, a Grand Opening Ceremony took place opening our present building, which is located at 1413 Main Street East. On June 24, 1993, the Swan River Indian and Metis Friendship Centre name was changed to Swan River Friendship Centre Inc.

After an illegal land transfer in 1907, Peguis First Nation was moved to its present location at Peguis 1B. Severe flooding in Manitoba in 2011 caused serious damage to housing and infrastructure and led to people evacuating from 18 First Nations communities. Peguis First Nation was one of the First Nations affected by this flooding.

SAI Memengwaa Program

“Memengwaa is the Anishinaabe word for butterfly. Butterfly survives a metamorphosis through cycles of nurturance and protection, supporting their ability to develop skills and strength, resulting in the ability to spread their wings and fly. This program is designed to support youth as they transition into adulthood, nurturing their special gifts and talents while supporting them to learn life skills.” Shawenim Abinoojii Inc. has recently purchased 126/140 Alfred Avenue, an abandoned building in the North Point Douglas community. Our vision is to revitalize this apartment to become affordable housing for youth and young adults, including young families, impacted by the Child Welfare System. We hope to reinvigorate life into this beautiful property while providing a critical resource for our young people. Construction is now underway.

Southeast Collegiate

Southeast Collegiate History

Southeast College was established as a private high school (Grades 10 to 12) in 1995-96 by The Southeast Tribal Council, incorporated as Southeast Resource Development Council Corporation (SERDC). The SERDC includes the communities of Bloodvein First Nation, Little Grand Rapids, Brokenhead, Pauingassi First Nation, Buffalo Point First Nation, Black River First Nation, Hollow Water, Berens River and Poplar River. Many of these SERDC communities lacked high schools and from this need arose the vision for a centrally located education facility. Situated within the city of Winnipeg and nestled on approximately 40 acres, the purchase of the former Nazarene College seemed like the ideal opportunity and location. SEC is unlike any other school in Canada. It is a unique facility that not only educates its students, but also houses the student body on site while nourishing the culture of First Nations in many of its day to day operations.
