Red Crow Community College
Education is a way forward for our people.
Education and training are long-term predictors of lifetime success, earning potential and the ability for Indigenous people to be significant contributors to their families, communities, and society.
As the first Tribal college in Canada, Red Crow Community College is uniquely positioned to lead among Indigenous education providers. We are an accredited provider, stewards of the Kainai First Nation and preservers of the Blackfoot culture. The College has an integral role in the lives of our Nation’s youth, the future of our community and Alberta.
