    PCED Vol 16 | Developing a First Nation community skills inventory 1 Developing a First Nation community skills inventory1 Devon MacKinnon-Ottertail First Nation communities have been presented a stronger role in mining and forestry developments by recent court judgements on governments’ duty to consult. Negotiations with mining companies have often included employment for community members in any Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). When jobs are presented by mining companies, the forestry industry, and other employers, there is no current system for First Nation Administrators to determine if community members have the pre-requisite skills, experience and qualifications that the employer is looking for and this has led to missed opportunities. To act on these prospects, Eagle Lake First Nation (ELFN) developed a system for tracking any training offered by the Band and created a skills inventory for additional training and certifications that community members have completed either on-reserve or off-reserve. This paper will document the development of this system. Keywords: First Nations, employment, recruitment, human resources, skills, community skills inventory, Ontario, Canada. First Nation communities have been presented a stronger role in mining and forestry developments by recent court judgements on governments’ duty to consult. As part of the consultation process, mining and forestry companies have a duty to consult surrounding First Nation communities when industry activities may impact the land. With lands and resource issues at the forefront, negotiations with mining companies have often included employment for community members in any Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). When jobs are presented by mining companies, the forestry industry, and other employers, there is no current system for First Nation Administrators to determine if community members have the pre-requisite skills, experience and qualifications that the employer is looking for and this has led to missed opportunities.

    Kinamaadiwin Inaakonigewin: a Path to Reconciliation and Anishinaabe Cultural Resurgence

    Kinamaadiwin Inaakonigewin: A Path to Reconciliation and Anishinaabe Cultural Resurgence by Leo Baskatawang A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Native Studies University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2021p. by Leo Baskatawang Abstract: The processes of colonization, which are maintained and enforced in a settler-colonial state through ideological apparatuses such as the justice system, health care, social services, and education have been exceedingly detrimental to Indigenous knowledges and ways of life. These apparatuses are primarily constructed to establish or maintain an ideological order such as capitalism, but also to identify and punish deviant or different ideologies, for instance Indigenous relationality. In the context of education and law, my dissertation will show how Indigenous oral traditions and spirituality have historically been attacked as being primitive and uncivilized, which laid a foundation to implement policies such as the Residential School System, as well as to write laws that are designed to erase Indigenous identity and rights, ie. the Indian Act. Despite the attack on Indigenous oral traditions and spirituality, however, traditional forms of Indigenous law and principles of education have survived. This is partly due to the advancement of ‘Aboriginal’ and treaty rights’ in Canada over the past forty years. The evolution of ‘Aboriginal and treaty rights’ is best observed in the context of Canadian case law and ‘Indian’ policy and resistance. In the latest development of this evolutionary process, the Canadian state has committed itself to a policy of reconciliation with Indigenous nations and peoples.

I acknowledge the relationship that the original custodians, Canada’s Indigenous Peoples,1 have with the surrounding lands referred to as northwestern Ontario. As a new Asian settler in Canada, I believe that recognizing the land on which we exist as settlers is an important part of the progression of acknowledgments, recognition, and appreciation leading to reconciliation. The ongoing process of building reciprocal relations is based on respect. A new settler has a “mother country” with thriving cultures to go back to at any point of time. But for the Indigenous peoples it is all here. This is their home. And, thus, there is a need to learn about the history of Indigenous People across Turtle Island. Taking part through deliberate actions throughout the research period, I educated myself about Canada’s colonial history and became an active and compassionate ally to Indigenous Peoples.
