Indigenous Student Self-Identification

What is Voluntary Self-Identification?

  • An opportunity to inform the NNDSB by providing details that will help us to enhance student success through the provision of supportive programming.

Who Can Self-Identify?

If you are a student over 18 years of age and have any degree of Indigenous ancestry, you may choose to self-identify. If you are under 18 years of age, your parents or guardians will need to identify for you. This is a personal choice and no proof of ancestry is required.

Self-Identification Data Will Help Us To...

  • Learn more about the population we serve
  • Provide supportive programming to enhance school experiences particularly in schools with high numbers of Indigenous students
  • Best support the diverse learning styles and experiences of all students
  • Provide schools with opportunities to benefit from a greater understanding of Indigenous traditions, cultures and perspectives
  • Build on opportunities to work with families and communities

Choosing to Self-Identify

First Nations, Metis or Inuit children and youth may choose to self-identify through the school registration process by checking off the appropriate boxes on the Student Registration Form, or by completing the verification form below:
