We believe the Great Spirit put us on Mother Earth to be kind, respecting one another and all things. We believe the Ojibwa Indian School must reflect the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa’s past, present, and future way of life. Recognizing each student as a unique individual, our Turtle Mountain Community. OIS in cooperation with parents/guardians will provide educational opportunities for all students to be competent culturally, physically, emotionally, socially and academically.
