The Gabriel Dumont Institute of Native Studies and Applied Research Inc. (GDI) was formally incorporated as a non-profit corporation in 1980, to serve the educational and cultural needs of the Saskatchewan Métis and Non-Status Indian community. The Institute is designated as the official educational arm of the Métis Nation-Saskatchewan (MN-S). GDI offers a variety of accredited educational, vocational and skills training opportunities for the province's Métis in partnership with the University of Regina, the University of Saskatchewan, the Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology, the province's various regional colleges and the Métis Employment and Training of Saskatchewan Inc.

All programs offered by the Gabriel Dumont Institute, the Dumont Technical Institute and Gabriel Dumont College are designed with a number of special features. For example, programs are community based and most offer a preparatory phase of training or run concurrent update courses with regular programming when the course begins. All courses offer Métis Studies programming and are sensitive to Métis culture. The school prides itself on comprehensive academic and personal counseling support to students. All training and professional education is fully accredited and recognized, with instruction and programming being of the highest quality.
