Manoomin Learning is rooted in both a story and a purpose. Founded by Nimkii Brad Howie, a proud Anishinaabe from Nipissing First Nation, the company’s name comes from a native  rice that grows within the Anishinaabe’s traditional homelands. Many people today call this plant “wild rice”, but to the Anishinaabe peoples, this gift is known as Manoomin, meaning “the good seed.” This teaching guides our work, where we plant the good seeds of understanding Indigenous Peoples, perspectives, ways of knowing, and science. When these good seeds of understanding are nurtured, they provide not only an understanding of what reconciliation truly means, but also actionable pathways toward reconciliACTION.
In today’s ever-evolving educational landscape, curricula increasingly include expectations related to Indigenous Peoples and perspectives, and organizations across many sectors are working to advance meaningful reconciliation. As a result, educators, organizational staff, and leaders are seeking guidance on how to engage in this work respectfully, responsibly, and authentically.
Manoomin Learning exists to support this journey, bridging the existing gap and helping our clients build confidence, capacity, and care. With a strong focus on Indigenous STEM education, our services include professional development workshops, keynote presentations, Indigenous education programs, curriculum and resource development, land-based walks, organizational consulting, and support for embedding Indigenous perspectives into educational and workplace environments. 
Programs and services are offered in person across Southern Ontario and remotely to clients everywhere, allowing us to support diverse learning communities in many contexts.
