Canada-Aboriginal Peoples Roundtable (DGM Module 3-5)

http://www.aboriginalroundtable.ca/sect/index_e.html

The Canada-Aboriginal Peoples Roundtable took place in April 2004, with a follow-up session in November 2004 and a policy retreat in May 2005. Of particular interest are the Facilitators’ Reports from the November 2004 meetings, with links to summaries of flip charts from the break-out groups, profiles of status and non-status North American Indians in Canada and a variety of background papers on such stakeholders as the Government of Canada and the Assembly of First Nations.

One of the areas addressed in the Lifelong Learning – Inuit breakout groups is the issue of improving access to Post Secondary Education. Specific recommendations included “Flexibility of program delivery” via broadband, language of instruction, modular delivery, distance education delivery in communities, continue to support learning (by) disabled students, and co-op work experience.

  • to develop an understanding and an appreciation of Indian and Métis cultures through language;
  • to develop students’ listening skills which will assist them in the learning of an Indian language in various social contexts and situations;
  • to encourage enjoyment of learning to converse and to write in an Indian or Michif language;
  • to cultivate positive personal and social growth through use of an Indian or Michif language.
