The need for a system, there have been pockets of aggregation, Southeast, Tribal Councils. 2006 – 2009 MFNERC Board of Directors requested the work first through the Research and Development Unit and then a working group consisting of senior educators from MFNERC, AMC, and former and current education directors who had extensive experience and knowledge on the evolution of First Nations education in Manitoba. Background - Systems . A Systematic Approach to First Nations Education; Concept Paper was presented and approved by the Education Directors, Executive Council of Chiefs and the Chiefs-in- Assembly with a resolution on June 20, 2012: To offer enhanced second level services (school division-type services) while continuing to work on developing an enhanced education system(s) for First Nations…….. (AMC 24th AGM Resolution #JUN-12.06, Swan Lake First Nation, June 19-21, 2012). Background – Guiding Principles The Systems Working Group have used and continue to use Guiding Principles developed by Education Directors as a foundational constitution. The guiding principles focus on: Student Centered Systems -The Education Systems that are developed must be student- centered and focus on student success and well- being resulting in completion of school, employability and responsible citizenship Background – Guiding Principles The First Nations Education System models must be based on historical perspectives, existing First Nations research, and best practices in education in Manitoba. The models must build on past developments, successes and encompass continuity and revitalization of First Nations languages, culture and traditions. Background – Guiding Principles Any governance and program models that are developed for First Nations Education systems must have the locus of power/authority/jurisdiction remaining with First Nations governments at the local level. Meaningful Elder involvement including the governance level must be an essential component of all aspects of the system. The Education System models must reflect equitable and fair access and distribution of resources and services to all First Nations communities, regardless of geographical location and community size. BACKGROUND – A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH Focus: • A Governance Model that builds on historical and current institutional development with proven success; • Successful First Nations-based developmental processes; • Identification and delegation by First Nations of first, second and third level services, programs and governance roles and responsibilities to various levels of the systems • Capacity Building for effective implementation of Systems; and • A Transition Initiative that will support a systematic phased-in approach with First Nations who opt-into implementation of the PTI and systems development over a five-year timeline. • An evolving document – for development of systems, informed by historical research, joint development with Education Directors and feedback from AMC BACKGROUND – A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH • To ensure that Manitoba First Nations have: • Legislative Authority over education • Governance and Management/FN’s Best Practices/Cultures, Languages, Traditions • Adequate Funding • Relevant Education Programming and Measurement of Success . BACKGROUND – A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH BACKGROUND – A SYSTEMS MODEL PARTNERSHIP TRANSITION INITIATIVE • Part of the Systems work – A systematic approach • Concept of partnership and transition • Precipitating Events, funding, Bill C-33, crisis • Pilot Project • Federal government agenda ENGAGEMENT PROCESS It is imperative that the Partnership Transition Initiative (PTI) Team provide ongoing updates and on current and future activities of the Partnership Transition Initiative to all stakeholders: . the PTI First Nations . the MFNERC Board of Directors . the Manitoba First Nation Education Directors . the MFNERC staff ROSEAU RIVER ANISHINABE FIRST NATION PILOT PROJECT . In May 2011, a Winnipeg Free Press article on RRAFN/Ginew School’s low quality of education . Chief Terry Nelson threatened closure of school due to low quality of education stemming from lack of education funding. Follow-up discussions with AANDC and RRAFN, MFNERC was brought in to look at ways in addressing and resolving the issue, rather than school closure. Proposal submission results in AANDC approval of RRAFN/MFNERC Partnership Agreement as a 3 year pilot project INITIAL CONSULTATION . During late 2013 and early 2014, at the request of First Nations Chiefs and Councils, MFNERC went out to various First Nations to provide an overview of the School Division concept, now referred to as the Partnership Transition Initiative (PTI). Over 20 First Nations requested a presentation resulting in 10 potential partners to start the proposed aggregate. PTI CONCEPT . MFNERC serving 48 First Nations with approximately 16,000 children . Work of developing an aggregate supported by educators, political leadership and First Nations (Process is First Nation-based and First Nation- driven). FIRST NATION’S WANT…. Manitoba’s First Nations have stated what they want: . Uniform regional standards; . Children to succeed in both First Nations and mainstream society; . First Nations to have ownership of education; . High expectations of staff and system to maintain accountable, quality, effective and efficient local control of education. MFNERC’S APPROACH . We respect: . Treaty Right to Education of each First Nation and how they choose to implement it; . To choose their option . First Nations indicate agreement to partner by Band Council Resolutions . To ensure that First Nation schools continue to improve systematically, it is necessary to establish processes for the aggregate to develop and operationalize. STRUCTURAL READINESS MFNERC is prepared to move forward with the aggregate concept because: . Structures are in Place (human resources, finance, technology, assessment and service delivery); . Many Education Studies/Research Completed and Analyzed; . Strategic Plans developed; . Established Partnerships. PARTNER COMMUNITIES . Bloodvein First Nation . Brokenhead Ojibway Nation . Dakota Plains Wahpeton . Fox Lake Cree Nation . Lake Manitoba First Nation 2160 . Lake St. Martin Students . Pinaymootang First Nation . Roseau River Anishinabe Nation . Sagkeeng First Nation .

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Bloodvein River is part of a network of rivers and lakes across northern Manitoba and Ontario, which were created by glaciers scouring the earth as they receded over 11,000 years ago. Indigenous Peoples have been living along the river corridor for thousands of years and today it flows through the Anishinaabe traditional territories of Lac Seul, Pikangikum, Little Grand Rapids, and Bloodvein River First Nations. On the basis of its strong natural and human heritage values, the western (Manitoba) portion of the Bloodvein was nominated to the Canadian Heritage Rivers System (CHRS) in 1984 and the eastern (Ontario) portion nominated in 1986. The CHRS requires that a detailed monitoring report be prepared every 10 years from designation to confirm that Bloodvein River : A Canadian Heritage River | i Table of Contents Acknowledgements ......................................................

  • Bloodvein First Nation, Manitoba
    Community Sharing Circle Briefing Note Bloodvein First Nation, Manitoba Briefing Note of IISD’s Natural and Social Capital Program and the IISD Foresight Group October 2011 Purpose and Context of the Sharing Circle An interactive sharing circle-style workshop was held in Bloodvein on February 17, 2011 to explore a series of questions to better understand how the local environment helps maintain and improve the well-being of First Nations peoples living in remote communities. The sharing circle also discussed observed changes in the local environment and how the community might possibly cope with and adapt to future environmental changes related to climate variability and change. The sharing circle was facilitated by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD). The insights compiled serve several purposes, including informing local planning efforts and the Pimachawin Aki’s proposal for World Heritage Site status. IISD will also harness the insights to help advance practical terminology and framework for communicating to policy-makers the important linkages between human well-being and the variety of products, services and benefits provided by the boreal environment. About Bloodvein First Nation Located on the east side of Lake Winnipeg at the mouth of the Bloodvein River, approximately 193 km north of Winnipeg, Bloodvein First Nation is a signatory to Treaty 5 with an outstanding treaty land entitlement on their land.
