About Us

President’s Message

Welcome to SIIT!

Founded in 1976 by the Chiefs of Saskatchewan, the Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies (SIIT) is Canada’s largest Indigenous-governed, credit-granting post-secondary institution. Rooted in Indigenous communities and values, SIIT supports learners from across Canada through programs that respond to community priorities, industry needs, and real-world career opportunities.

Based in Saskatchewan, SIIT combines cultural grounding with hands-on, workforce-focused education across Health & Community, Business & Technology, and Trades & Industrial sectors. SIIT operates campuses, training sites, mobile units, and in-community programs across the 74 First Nations of Saskatchewan, making education accessible, culturally relevant, and responsive to labour-market needs.

SIIT is guided by a commitment to strengthening Indigenous people and communities through education, opportunity, and self-determination. As Leaders of Change, we prepare learners to create positive impact within their families, workplaces, and communities while carrying forward the values that shape who we are.

As Saskatchewan’s only Indigenous credit-granting post-secondary institution, SIIT remains committed to education that reflects Indigenous knowledge, community priorities, and the realities of today’s workforce. Through strong partnerships with communities, Elders, industry, and educational organizations, we continue to create opportunities that support learner success and strengthen communities across the province.

Today, more than 60,000 SIIT alumni are contributing to growth, leadership, and prosperity across Saskatchewan and beyond. On behalf of SIIT’s staff, faculty, and Board of Governors, welcome to SIIT. We are honoured to walk alongside our learners and communities as we continue building the next generation of Leaders of Change.
