  • 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.

I, of course, want to thank our President, Ian West, and all our Committee Members and especially our very efficient Treasurer, Bill Van Draat. The Grey Owl Society was founded by the late Colin Taylor and the first meeting was held in April 1982 in the Sussex village of Framfield. Our first President, 'Ted' Blackmore, had been a long time friend of Ian West and Colin Taylor and in 1935 had made the warbonnet for Grey Owl's U.K. Tour (Bull 1:6-8). After Ted's death in 1983, Ian West took over as President and his recollections of Grey Owl's visit to his school in Bexhill- on-Sea (where, at the age of 13, he was "the first one to sit in the chair after Grey Owl's departure with the Headmaster"), are also included in Bull l:9).
