The Lance

The BHP Billiton sponsored lance run was an important part of the 2013 First Nations Summer Games event. Elder Howard Walker shared these teachings about the history and significance of the lance run. A 30-minute version of Elder Walker’s teachings will be available on this site in the days ahead.

The Summer Institute (INCA 200) is a core-required course in the INCA program, and is a 6-credit-hour course.

It is only offered in the summer—the course dates for 2016 are Monday, May 9 to Friday, June 24, 2016. The course times are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday.

You can also register in the INCA Internship (INCA 290) from July 4 to the end of August. The Internship is also 6-credit-hours, so you can complete 12-credit-hours over the course of the Spring/Summer semester. (For the purpose of student loans and some band funding programs, registering in 12 credit hours makes you eligible for funding–but check with your funder. If you require a confirmation letter, text me at 306-536-8069.)

INCA 200 and 290 are open to all students who are eligible to register at the University of Regina–especially Film and pre-Journalism students, for whom INCA 200 is recommended by their programs.

Students can also register as Casual students. If you want to complete only the INCA Summer Institute (INCA 200) this is a great option. For information and instructions, go to http://www.uregina.ca/cce/student-services/admitted/admission.html
