Wîcîwisis Campion Academy is developing a traditional governance model, informed by the Sun Dance lodge, which emphasizes spiritual guidance, humility, and community consent. Leadership is based on a Guiding Council of Elders and Knowledge Keepers for traditional work and a Board of Directors for business operations, both prioritizing consensus-building and respectful dialogue. Curriculum development focuses on the spiritual significance of knowledge, with ethical technology integration and community engagement rooted in reciprocity and healing.

Protecting traditional knowledge is crucial, with strategies including Indigenous control and ownership, trauma-informed approaches, ethical engagement with Elders, community-based methods, and respectful technology use. The academy aims to protect and teach traditional knowledge, centering Elders and the land, enacting "Mîyo-Wâhkohtowin" (interconnectedness), and empowering Indigenous self-determination in education. Recognition of traditional knowledge and practitioners is based on community endorsement, Elders' councils, ceremonial validation, and apprenticeship, respecting community-specific protocols and utilizing technology respectfully.

This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada.
