  • Nyaagaaniid: Student Success and Anishinaabe Initiatives the University
    Nyaagaaniid: Student Success and Anishinaabe Initiatives The University Established in 1965 as Algoma College, Algoma University was initially an affiliate of Laurentian University in Sudbury. In 1967, Algoma College began offering classes in a portable building located at the former Cambrian College site in Sault Ste. Marie, now the site of Sault College. Algoma College moved into its current location, the former Shingwauk Residential School building, in 1971. Former students of the Shingwauk Residential School formed the Children of Shingwauk Alumni Association and have helped guide the development of education on the Shingwauk site. A provincial trust, the Shingwauk Education Trust (SET), gives ownership of a portion of the site to Anishinaabek people, and Shingwauk Kinoomaage Gamig (SKG) has developed as an Anishinaabek institution for university studies on the site. Algoma University signed a Covenant in 2006 with SKG and SET to provide educational opportunities and resources in living with their mutual commitment to the restoration of Chief Shingwauk’s vision of a teaching wigwam. An addendum to the Covenant was signed in 2018 reinvigorating the focus on partnership as it pertains to the University’s special mission. In 2008, Algoma University was granted its charter and with the charter, achieved full autonomous university status as Ontario’s 19th university. With three campuses in Ontario (Sault Ste. Marie, Timmins, and Brampton) Algoma University now offers over 30 academic programs in a diverse range of fields through three faculties: Faculty of Science, Faculty of Social Sciences and Faculty of Humanities. Within the Faculty structure are the recently developed School of Computer Science and Technology, School of Life Sciences and the Environment, and the School of Business and Economics.

  • Mapping the Legal and Normative Orders That Interact to Inform First Nation Youths’
    HOW THE ACORN UNFOLDS IN EDUCATION: Mapping the Legal and Normative Orders that Interact to Inform First Nation Youths’ Right to Education through Legal Pluralism and Critical Legal Pluralism by Patricia Robinet A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF LAWS Faculty of Law University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright ã 2018 by Patricia Robinet ABSTRACT The current education mandate for First Nations in Canada has been described as a “inexcusable educational-rights vacuum” for which First Nation students and communities pay a “heavy price”. To better gauge the effectiveness of the current education mandate, this study employed the socio-legal approaches of legal pluralism and critical legal pluralism and found that no participant felt that their right to education was fully actualized. From the perspective of First Nation students, their right to education necessarily includes: adequate funding for post- secondary education, learning from an Indigenized curriculum, and learning in an environment that is free from discrimination and racism. This study also found that the participants of the study situate themselves in a plurality of legal orderings. They draw on Treaties, international human rights laws, and First Nation laws to inform their perceptions on their right to education, even though these legal orderings and laws are not necessarily validated or recognized by Canada through official state law. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The decision to pursue my LL.M. in Aboriginal Law at the Faculty of Law, University of Manitoba, was, in part, prompted by a recognition that my own education failed to teach me the dark, violent history of Canada’s origins and its broken relations with Indigenous peoples.
