The Indigenous Student Internship Program (ISIP) is designed with the Indigenous Strategy (ohpahotân I oohpaahotaan) as the backbone of the programming. These internships are meant to foster student growth, enhance self-determination, and provide cultural and land-based experiences. The ISIP program utilizes the seven commitments: Safety, Wellness, Stewardship, Representation, Recreation, and Renewal throughout its development, assessment and administration.

ISIP is generously supported by the MCF's EleV program and Oyateki; a collaborative initative that is creating opportunities for Indigenous learners to be full partners in their education and journey to meaningful work.
