What Our Name Means
Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies
SIIT was created in 1976 by First Nation leaders to carry out the vision and needs of their communities. Not a government initiative — a community one. Every program, service, and innovation space flows from that original mandate: education shaped by the people it's meant to serve.
