    CMEC ABORIGINAL EDUCATORS’ SYMPOSIUM Yellowknife | Northwest Territories | June 29–30, 2015 PROGRAM Northern Arts and Cultural Centre (NACC) 5399 49th St., Yellowknife, NT X1A 2N7 TABLE OF CONTENTS Welcome from the Ministers 2 Symposium Overview 4 Moderators 5 Host Elder 6 Keynote Speakers 7 Indigenous Scholars 8 Program 13 Maps 17 Yellowknife – Tourism Information 19 1 WELCOME FROM THE MINISTERS Education, culture, and language are the soul of a society. This is consistent with Aboriginal teachings about our responsibility to pass down the strengths, values, and traditions of our ancestors to the seventh generation. Few play a more pivotal role in sharing this knowledge than Aboriginal educators. There is growing research evidence that Aboriginal students’ success stems in large part from their teachers’ support and their sense of identity, growing up proud of themselves, their communities, and their cultures. Hiring Aboriginal teachers who serve as positive role models and mentors has been proven to enrich learning and produce positive results for Aboriginal students. Training and engaging more Aboriginal teachers to increase student achievement has been identified in many reports, including the Royal Commission Report on Aboriginal Peoples, as being essential to eliminate education gaps. Given the power of Aboriginal educators to transform lives and transform futures for the better, it is crucial that we attract and keep more Aboriginal educators in the teaching profession. That is what the CMEC Aboriginal Educators’ Symposium is all about. We want to ensure more committed and talented Aboriginal people become educators who will positively influence the next generation. To do this, we recognize that we must listen closely to and learn from the true experts — Aboriginal teachers.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Chapter 9, “Wellness and Healing,” takes a closer look at the National Inquiry’s own health and wellness approach for family members and survivors, and what we have learned from families and survivors who participated in the National Inquiry who discussed their own healing journeys. In Chapter 10, “Commemoration and Calling Forth,” we turn to the National Inquiry’s efforts to raise awareness and engage in public education through our Legacy Archive, art outreach, and youth engagement guide. Altogether, we assert, these actions, engagements, and interactions will help reclaim the role of women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people as powerful cultural carriers and sacred knowledge holders who are capable of shaping a safer future for the next generation of Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people. In Chapter 11, “On the Front Lines: Valuing the Insight of Front-line Workers,” we provide a summary of four Guided Dialogue sessions, held in the fall of 2018. These dialogues brought together people of diverse perspectives to discuss best practices and solutions for change. These were not aimed at gathering individual testimony, but instead aimed to bring together front-line service providers, organizers, people with lived experience, Elders, academics, and outreach support to fill in gaps and discuss best practices related to their own backgrounds within specific Inuit, Métis, 2SLGBTQQIA, and Quebec contexts. Over the course of three days, participants identified barriers and discussed what best practices and solutions look like through the lenses of culture, health, security, and justice. Calls for Justice We end with our Calls for Justice. These Calls are anchored in human and Indigenous rights in- struments, Indigenous laws, and principles shared through the testimonies of family members, survivors, Knowledge Keepers, and Expert Witnesses, along with the National Inquiry’s advisory groups, both internal and external.

  • Calls for Justice
    CALLS FOR JUSTICE Calls for Justice As the evidence demonstrates, human rights and Indigenous rights abuses and violations committed and condoned by the Canadian state represent genocide against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people. These abuses and violations have resulted in the denial of safety, security, and human dignity. They are the root causes of the violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people that generate and maintain a world within which Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people are forced to confront violence on a daily basis, and where perpetrators act with impunity. The steps to end and redress this genocide must be no less monumental than the combination of systems and actions that has worked to maintain colonial violence for generations. A permanent commitment to ending the genocide requires addressing the four pathways explored within this report, namely: • historical, multigenerational, and intergenerational trauma; • social and economic marginalization; • maintaining the status quo and institutional lack of will; and • ignoring the agency and expertise of Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people. 167 Reclaiming Power and Place: The Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls CALLS FOR JUSTICE Addressing these four pathways means full compliance with all human and Indigenous rights instruments, as well as with the premise that began this report: that the daily encounters with individuals, institutions, systems, and structures that compromise security must be addressed with a new view toward relationships. Although we have been mandated to provide recommendations, it must be understood that these recommendations, which we frame as “Calls for Justice,” are legal imperatives – they are not optional.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    Annual Report 2019 Championing young Canadians to take ownership of their present. And future. President's Message A reflective look on 2019 It is with a great deal of pride that I reflect upon the past 2 years. The Award in Canada continues to make great strides in managing its use of technology to increase our reach and assist our participants and leaders. Online registration and record books, as well as increased social media communication have greatly improved our ability to support our entire community with their commitment to achievement. The decision to undertake the Award is no small thing. Our participants must continuously choose to dedicate themselves to a path of challenge, ambition, dedication and altruism. The sense of accomplishment once they achieve each level is significant, but the truest impact continues to be experienced over a lifetime. We have been, therefore, thrilled to witness the impact and success of our Youth Resiliency Project (YRP) throughout our entire Division. Criminally involved youth have not before had the opportunity to experience the benefits of the Award in our division, but as of December 2019, 29 have achieved their Bronze and 7 have achieved their Silver Awards. We continue to drive towards making the Award available to as many young Canadians as possible and pledge to continue to the support life-changing advantages to self-realization. To that end, we have forged relationships with local partners to re-establish our presence in the North. Our gratitude goes to our partners, leaders and generous donors whose financial contributions have enabled us to pursue engage young people as they pursue the journey of a lifetime.
