Support Resolutions. Many resolutions passed by the Chiefs in Assembly provide support for First Nations control of First Nations education. First Nations have consistently pushed for fundamental transformation of education, in 1972 with Indian Control of Indian Education. A Backgrounder is available which provides an outline of the different AFN documents and resolutions relating to this matter. These documents demonstrate the strong and ongoing commitment of First Nations to this initiative. 2), Inherent Jurisdiction. As stated in many of the AFN resolutions, First Nations have an inherent right to jurisdiction derived from their existence as self-governing entities at the time of contact. In addition, Article 14 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of indigenous Peoples states that “Indigenous peoples have the right to establish and control their educational systems and institutions". This is at the heart of the work to be done on this initiative: "respecting the principle of First Nations control of First Nations education" as stated in the mandate letter to Minister Bennett. 3) Required First Nations Consent. A First Nations consent mechanism is necessary for those who choose to participate in the new funding mechanisms. 4) Northern and Remote First Nations Communities. Real cost factors will be included in determining funding levels for First Nations communities in northern and remote areas,Section 4: Principles In working together to meet the objectives set out above, the parties will work in a collaborative manner that is consistent with the following principles: 10. 1 12, First Nations have an inherent and Treaty right to education and each First Nation has authority and autonomy over their citizens with respect to education. Work collaboratively to continuously improve educational outcomes for First Nation students. Acknowledge existing regional processes and honour the autonomy of each to determine their own education systems, funding mechanisms and processes. Recognize the diversity of First Nation peoples, communities, languages, cultures, traditions and spiritual practices, ‘Acknowledge Canada’s commitment, through Minister Bennett's mandate letter from Prime Minister Trudeau, to make significant new investments for First Nations education to ensure that First Nations children on-reserve receive a quality education while respecting First Ni Control of First Nations Education. Affirm Canada’s obligation to section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982, which recognizes existing Aboriginal and Treaty rights. Affirm Canada's commitment to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which promote and protect the inherent rights of First Nations students. Recognize the calls to action related to education from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Recognize First Nation’s vision of holistic, lifelong learning that ensures all students receive a quality education within a linguistically and culturally appropriate learning environment. Affirm the government's commitment to First Nation's vision of First Nations control of First Nations education and to a quality education for all First Nations students. ‘The development of regional funding models for First Nations education will be based on engagement with First Nations, existing regional structures and processes where applicable, research, legal decisions and a rationale that outlines the needs of First Nations students and rot solely provincial comparability of funding, Affirm that these are joint and collaborative processes and shall not be construed as consultations, nsVersion 3 January 10, 2016 Joint AFN/INAC Task Teams Expectations Education for First Nations is perceived as lifelong learning which includes informal and formal learning at all levels from pre-kindergarten through post-secondary education and professional development. First Nation education must be led by First Nations regional organizations and communities. A First Nations education framework must be founded and built upon First Nations regional/community perspectives, systems, beliefs and aspirations to give respect to Nation diversity and to honour what has already been established. ist As education specialists, Task Team members bring the knowledge, experience and expertise to share at the Task Team tables. The resulting First Nations education framework and funding ate to provide what is needed to benefit First Nations learners and produce positive outcomes in academic achievement and connection to First Nations languages and cultures. While the Joint AFN/INAC Task Teams include both AFN and INAC members, First Nations lead the process. INAC does not dictate the direction or the solutions. This is a time of transition, where First Nations are changing the relationship with government, New models are being worked on across and within federal government departments. Context is crucial for relevance in the future. This work is to be undertaken with the greatest respect, honouring First Nations diversity, differing opinions, views and approaches.cows somes woneN ——_suonemueniovonenraosen sts uoney @) — sotouny @ '}00425 Na $8 sapjununwo oe suonen syomawes4 uoneonpy SuOReN ISH LIVE yo faonuer(04>uyaq) jpunoy widoreonp3 jeuojsing ouyea + (u1apimg) youn fequ UiAPIMD—« (2uaq) uonen auaq + ‘SoyOMHOL ISOMUTION (nsA0) suonen asulg uoynAJo JUNE) « uo, (e,e8sin) insia jooups e.e8SIN& (9san4) aaxjuwi0g Suzaays voreonp3 suoneN sily «| eiquinop ysna (g Avea41) uoneanpa g Avwau, (2 Ayeas1) vogeiodiog quawiaseueyy ¢ Ayes, (9 Ayeau1) uoneanp3 9 Ayeas, (tan) 9UN09 Leg, 22894 YUON 00p}2eI9) A>esapajUu0> 00ppeIG + euogiy ow .

It will be visible for all to keep focus. The Facilitator will repeat the topic throughout the brainstorming process. To begin, task team members will be given 3 minutes to jot down some initial ideas on a "post-it". When the brainstorming begins, each team member will share his/her idea and then place the post-it on the flip chart paper. Recorders will number ideas. The facilitator will continue to ask for more ideas about the topic and task team members will take turns sharing new ideas that will be written on the flip chart paper. The facilitator will ask for two volunteers who can write very quickly to jot down the ideas on flip chart papers. One volunteer will begin noting ideas and after 20 ideas the next volunteer will take over. Repeat this process throughout the brainstorming session. The brainstorming session is to take 10 minutes. The session will be timed.January 9, 2016 Si 4 @) AEN Task Teams Orientation Brainstorming Ground Rules Defer judgement. Refrain from criticism. All ideas are valid. Every idea is welcome: Shout out wild ideas, outlandish ideas and bizarre ideas. Build on the ideas of others. Add new ideas triggered by the ideas of others. Quantity counts - come up with as many ideas as you can. Every idea has equal worth. Each person has a valid viewpoint and a unique perspective. Each idea belongs to the group. Stay focused on the topic. One person speaks as a time, Others pay full attention to the new idea being shared. Turn off cell phones, tablets or computers.January 10, 2016 AFN Task Teams Orientation Breakout Questions Post-Secondary Education OEarly Childhood Education —_O Funding Mechanisms (Measurement and Mutual Accountability __ Statutory funding Questions: 1.
