Shingwauk Kinoomaage Gamig (University) is a proposed Anishinaabe (Ojibwa) university to be run in conjunction with a newly-independent Algoma University in Sault Ste. Marie and the Shingwauk Education Trust. Its creation was first envisioned by Chief Shingwauk (also Shingwaukonce or Shingwaukonse, "little pine") in 1873 as a "Teaching Wigwam Lodge" to preserve Anishinaabe culture and language. His vision was, at first, corrupted into the controversial Canadian residential school system.
The university may eventually become chartered as an independent university, but will be initially established as a federated school of Algoma University.
