    • Provide an opportunity for children, adolescents, adults and Elders to have a respectful space to develop their gifts (particularly the 7 Grandfather teachings);
    • Foster identity and facilitate well-being; 
    • Have tools and resources to address the inequities such as (colonialism, racism, social exclusion, food insecurity, unemployment, poverty, limited access to housing, poor health, mental health, grief and substance abuse);
    • Ongoing professional development for all educators at the school; 
    • Time and resources alloted for teachers to plan together; 
    • Value teachers for their work and committment; 
    • Evolve interpersonal relationships so that they are positive and productive;
    • Shared leadership between administration and staff;
    • Deconstructing the hidden curriculum;
