It is the university-college in the Nass Valley. The WWNI incorporated in 1993 in an initiative from the Nisga'a Tribal Council (now referred to as Nisga'a Lisims Government) to provide quality post-secondary education and training to people within the Nisga'a community, and to ensure the survival of Nisga'a language and culture. The WWNI is a non-profit organization incorporated under the Society Act of British Columbia. The WWNI Board of Directors is made up of one representative from each of the four villages in the Nass Valley and a Chair elected at large to represent the Nisga'a Lisims Government.
