  • About-The-Governance
    Governance Working Group Overview Working Groups and the Anishinabek Nation Governance Initiatives The Anishinabek Nation is currently in the process of implementing two self-governance initiatives to restore inherent jurisdictional rights to Anishinabek First Nations and their people in areas of Education and Governance. The mandates for these initiatives have come from Grand Council Resolutions that are directed by the Chiefs in Assembly, as part of an overall Nation-Building strategy that includes the implementation of the Anishinabek Declaration 1980. These resolutions, which are implemented by the Leadership and technical staff of the Anishinabek Nation, have mandated initiatives such as the Restoration of Jurisdiction Project, the Constitution Development Project, the E’Dbendaagzijig Citizenship Law, the Anishinabek Child Well-Being Law, and the Education and Governance Agreement Negotiations. The Anishinabek Nation has been negotiating with Canada for the restoration of jurisdiction in Education for over 20 years, and following a successful ratification in December 2016, the Kinoomaadziwin Education Board is forging ahead with the Anishinabek Education System (AES) start-up and implementation planning, and nearing conclusion of the Master Education Agreement with the province of Ontario. Governance has been in negotiations for more than 10 years and the Agreement is nearing completion and preparing for a vote in May/June 2019. Upon completion, both self-governance agreements will enable First Nations with law-making authorities in the specific areas of Education and Governance. As part of the on-going negotiations and the development of the two agreements, First Nation Chiefs recognized the importance of having grassroots input into the negotiations, and therefore mandated the Anishinabek Nation to coordinate the development of two working groups.

  • Recovering the Landscape of the Credit Indian Mission: a Spiritual Journey of the Mississauga First Nation
    Recovering The Landscape of The Credit Indian Mission: A Spiritual Journey of the Mississauga First Nation Ali Ahmed and Sandra Cooke University of Toronto, Canada [email protected], [email protected] Introduction This paper reports contexts of the Credit Indian Mission (1826-1847), a cultural landscape of the Mississauga First Nation, which is largely unrecognized and inaccessible on present day Mississaugua Golf & Country club site. This paper proposes a set of landscape design interventions, aimed at reclaiming the cultural landscape of the Mississauga First Nation at the Credit Indian Mission by recovering their ancestral landscape, strengthening connections to their heritage while increasing public awareness about their heritage and culture. This paper envisions a spiritual journey for the Mississauga First Nation by renewing their identity to this cultural landscape. Background 1 First Nations of Canada are in this country before the European settlements, and the Mississauga First Nation came first in most of the southern Ontario. This paper graphically represents major settlements of the Mississauga First Nation over time in figure ‘1’. Figure ‘1’ also 2 includes selected historic maps, heritage research findings and treaties. Treaties were legal formalities to accommodate the European settlers in First Nation lands, the lands in which they developed a strong spiritual connection and passed meanings from one generation to the next. “For many aboriginal people, the landscape in which they live is a seamless fabric of physical, 3 spiritual and cultural threads”. During the European colonization, First Nation people were 4 pressured to integrate into an alternative lifestyle. Subsequent European settlements were lacking understanding of First nation people, their culture, land and unique relationship to them.

  • Denise Dwyer Assistant Deputy Minister Indigenous Education and Well-Being Division
    Memorandum to: Directors of Education First Nation Education Partners From: Denise Dwyer Assistant Deputy Minister Indigenous Education and Well-Being Division Subject Reciprocal Education Approach: School Eligibility Documentation We would like to begin by thanking you for your continued work in supporting continuity of learning for First Nation students over the course of this past year. As we continue with the implementation of the Reciprocal Education Approach (REA), we have seen the need to be flexible and reduce unnecessary administrative burden where possible to support First Nation students to have equitable access to education. Accordingly, amendments have been made to section 3 of O. Reg. 261/19 (Reciprocal Education Approach) to waive the requirement for First Nation-operated schools previously listed in Table 2 of the regulation to submit documentation to the ministry demonstrating school eligibility. These schools are no longer required to submit this documentation in order to be eligible for funding under the REA in the 2020-21 school year and subsequent school years. The list of eligible schools in Table 1 of section 3 of O. Reg. 261/19 has been updated to include all First Nation-operated schools previously listed on Table 2 of section 3 of the regulation. The updated list of eligible schools can be found in Appendix A, and will be posted on the ministry website and in the 2021-22 REA Instructions. Please note, First Nation-operated schools wishing to participate in the REA who are not listed in the updated Table 1 of the REA Regulation will still be required to submit eligibility documentation to the ministry by October 30 of a given school year to be eligible for REA funding for that school year and subsequent school years.

  • The Corporation of the Municipality of Huron Shores
    The Corporation of the Municipality of Huron Shores Office of the Mayor July 2, 2020 via email Dear Chief and Council: RE: Regional Broadband Following the discharge of the Broadband Task Group under the Huron North Community Economic Alliance (HNCEA), and just prior to the onslaught of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Council of the Municipality of Huron Shores appointed an ad-hoc Broadband Committee to remain active in furthering broadband efforts in the Municipality of Huron Shores. Now, more than ever, our area is realizing the need for reliable and cost effective rural broadband in our corridor of Northern Ontario. It is our intent to continue to actively seek out effective rural broadband solutions. It has been shown from other areas, such as the Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN), that a regional approach will place us in a better position to seek out funding opportunities and provide network opportunities to our most rural/remote areas. I write to inquire as to your interest in establishing a network along the north shore of Lake Huron, focused on delivering effective broadband that will serve and meet all our needs in all of our communities well into the future. We will not be able to access funding for possibly another 20 years. We need, at minimum, 50 Mbps/10Mbps, which is beyond what has been offered by the big ISP providers. We need to work on furthering our regional broadband efforts for our immediate needs now and in the future. I am reaching out to all First Nations along the north shore of Lake Huron between Echo Bay and Nairn Centre, and those on Manitoulin Island, in order to obtain your thoughts regarding broadband.
