These changes will enhance programs that are delivered to the Mi’kmaw students. As a result of successful negotiations we will have two new schools in Indian Brook and We’koqma’q. Technology was historically the cause for the loss of our lan- guage and culture, ironically it will be the vehicle that will also bring it back to our communities. Through the video conferenc- ing and connectivity of the Mi’kmaw communities in Atlantic Canada we can now use this tool of technology to bring lan- guage and culture to where it has been lost. For many commu- nities this is the answer and it is available to most Mi’kmaw communities in the region. A Mi’kmaw Language Dictionary is in the works at MK. This Dictionary will be made available to the communities in November 2005. A CD of this Dictionary will follow. Once again technology will make this happen. Partnerships and working together we can make things happen. At MK we are committed to making progress and success in all aspects of learning. Chief Terrance J. Paul Chairman of the Board 3 Mi’kmaw Kina’matnewey / Education 2004 - 2005 Executive Director’s Message i’kmaw Kina’matnewey (MK) begins another five-year agreement. There are some changes that will benefit the MMK communities. MK is very excited that there will be the construction of two new schools for the communities of We’koqma’q and Indian Brook. Currently, there are reviews being conducted on the Band Operated Funding Formula (BOFF) and Post Secondary Education (PSE). These reviews are being done jointly by the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) and Indian & Northern Affairs Canada (INAC). There has been a review of the Special Education Programs (SEP) and a Business Case that will be presented to Treasury Board for additional funding. After all of these reviews, we would like to see better programs for the students. At a provincial level, MK is in the process of negotiating a common tuition agree- ment with the Nova Scotia government. It is the hope of MK that this agreement be in place for September 2005. Some of the issues that have been discussed in the Common Tuition agreement are better services for the Mi’kmaq students in the Provincial Schools. It is a pleasure to present you with the MK Annual Report and on behalf of the MK Staff and Board of Directors we look forward to the next annual report.

  • APC Annual Report 918489 9/20/05 5:09 PM Page 1
    APC Annual Report 918489 9/20/05 5:09 PM Page 1 Executive Director’s Report ver the past year the relationship between First Nations and the Government of Canada has improved considerably. At the national level the AFN O(Assembly of First Nations) has created a better working environment with the ministers and senior government officials. Parties discussed issues and worked on plans to create work and various activities which have created a number of tangible results for the First Nations in Atlantic Canada. The Canada-Aboriginal Peoples Roundtable held in Ottawa on April 19th, 2004 set in motion solid discussions on a wide range of aboriginal issues. Because of the Roundtable meeting federal ministers who deal with First Nations and aboriginal peoples moved the issues to the forefront of their political mandates. In various speeches and documents including the Speech from the Throne, the Government of Canada expressed the view that fundamental transformative change was necessary to create and sustain new relationships and federal policies and develop change that is not based on failed federal policies of the past implemented with minimal input from First Nations people imposed on First Nations people and their communities. The year was one of dialogue and the development of innovative ideas and plans. Many perspectives were articulated at the six roundtables conducted by the Government of Canada. Over 200 participants attended the Roundtable including First Nations representatives in the areas of health, housing, lifelong learning, relationships and accountability. By the end of the year some ideas progressed into action with some federal funding support in the 2005 budget however, not to the degree needed by First Nation communities across the country.
