A central part of the MDP orientation is hosted in Ochekwi-Sipi, the Cree community of Fisher River. Incoming students spend time on the land and water, and are inspired by the community's approach to collective and individual well-being. Community leaders, Chief and Council, youth and knowledge-keepers share their experiences, as well as the challenges and successes of community-led sustainable development. Discussions include such topics as governance, environment, education, language and culture, health, traditional knowledge, and the impact of residential schools.
