decolonizing the processes, learning the history, councils to take up the responsibility with traditional governance in mind

It is up to us to educate our children. What is our response...we should really collaborate with allies, be the mover and shakers, it is going to take some. Smith, her words mean a lot...

# data[].attributes.body
reform or response needed

going through band council supports assimilation still

resurrecting traditional forms of governments seems key

maybe the key lies with nations and councils themselves

Indigenous jurisdiction needs to be considered and be allowed to rule

need stable funding

we should be telling them what we need vs the opposite

NVIT is a step in the right direction of Indian control, being the First Public post secondary that has been acknowledge from the government is big win, The institute is a welcoming feeling and is rooted in First Nations values.

Support Indigenous self-determination and leadership development

The fact that this is a recommendation portrays the subjugation that Indigenous Peoples is under, that still continues today.

Self-determination is not the goal of gov't, it's just lip service.

They gov't does not want to relinquish control.

How are these institutions, operated in Unceded territories, and the people of the land being oppressed...through the language and our concerns about how this is being taught to future generations...not really being included in the way it should. Unceded rights to land, needs to be fundamentally understood as being the foundation for which edcuation should be done.

critique: still inadequacies with lack of funding and support from government

Indigenous self-determination and leadership development

not supported

gov't doesn't relinquish control unless they feel Ind people are able

still hesitant to give powers to Indigenous people, band councils

still exists 50+ years later

Money available to indig people to

no real intention from government to support this

We make a connection to the collaboration proposed to today, through our Indigenous Education Councils...EC in school districts...confines rights of Indigenous Peoples...doesn't really recognize the Inherent Rights of Communities ex: does not actual extend to overall budget....just targeted funds

Critique: Still today, we don't fully have control of Indian Education. We still operate within the government structure and impositions of governmental controls. Full Indian Control of Indian Education has not been completely realized or fully implemented.

Hard to think about self-determination when these are still the constraints and limitations we experience and face. Still very much alive through Indian Act.

We think what is needed is the continuation of mobilizing our Citizen's plus approach. Continuing our momentum of changing and transforming to fully obtain complete control of building our own systems, policies and structures. Not always so blanketed, but get the people the power.

Still present...local control, Indigenous Knowledge, self determination, etc...larger regard, still present 53 years later...still waiting to be implemented in an effective way...

The feelings and beliefs are just passed

on from generations to generations....

Self-Determination:

Indigenous communities having full authority over the education of their children. This could involve developing community-led schools, land-based and language revitalization programs. Example: Language Nests

Reform:

Acknowledging the inadequacies of a one-size-fits-all, Western education model. It suggests the need for more local control, culturally relevant curriculum, and the inclusion of Indigenous perspectives in educational planning

Critique: the report suggests kindergartens and early childhood education programs should emphasize language and culture
