Show More
The Neo Pacifist Union will invest $2.2 billion in the refurbishing and renovation of First Nation schools. By 2020, the NPU will renovate 70% of First Nations schools in Canada. The remaining 30% is scheduled to be completed as early as 2022.
Currently, First Nations schooling is underfunded; our First Nations youth are the only ones struggling because of this. With our plans to renovate schools on reserves, our hope is that more First Nations enter post-secondary schooling and eventually our diverse workforce.

    Themes In Indian Horse By Richard Wagamese

    Throughout the course so far, I have been able to gain a greater understanding of the First Nations peoples culture. As the course progresses it is noticed that as we keep going further into the past of the First nation's people, it keeps building on itself, due to the fact that there has been so much history covered up. Through the pieces of the literature studied in class, such as the novel Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese and the poem seven matches by Gord Downie and Jeff Lemire, I have been able to determine how the four major themes within the course, identity, sovereignty, relationships, and challenges are a part of the First Nations culture's past. The First Nations people are struggling with these themes, but are in a pace now where they are working to fix their broken past.…

    Summary: The Greatest Influence Of The Union

    The greatest influence of the Union being victorious in the war was the economic prowess of the Union. The Northern states were the dominant industrial force in America, meaning their economy was much more advanced and well developed than the Confederacy. The Confederate economy was more focused on agriculture rather than industry making the economy significantly primitive in compared to the Union’s. Another powerful economic benefit was the Union had control over the border states, meaning they had almost monopolistic control over the primary railroads and water trade ways granting them the ability to better transport goods. Of course the Union had the backing of other nations, specifically Britain and France, who poured money into the Union…

    SFD Initiatives

    This innovative policy can effectively deconstruct an organization of domination, while also providing a means for the resurgence of indigenous identity. Ultimately, having Indigenous-leaders working within the system of public policy can be understood as a fundamental process of self-determination, which requires community participation, public participation, and above all action. The second, recommendation is that NGO’s such as Right to Play should continue to work within Aboriginal communities and receive additional funding from the Canadian Federal Government in order to act as a means accountability to ensure the government is proactively consulting indigenous groups when the policy is created and executed. In addition, SFD organizations and governmental institutions should work with indigenous peoples to create and deliver appropriate and culturally relevant training for staff pertaining to indigenous history, culture, concurrent issues, and reconciliation. This will enable indigenous peoples to confront prevailing pedagogies, which have historically marginalized them from sports participation Thirdly, the federal and provincial government should work to improve Aboriginal representation and the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) level by establishing polices that improve the recruitment of Aboriginal athletes.…

    Critical Race Theory Summary And Analysis

    As an example, take Community Education Centres: commonly found in remote areas of the Northern Territory, they are considered innovative for providing rural Indigenous students with a comprehensive range of educational services. Hewitson (2007) reveals, however, that in practice they prove unsuccessful in promoting educational success, often being swamped by students of ages 12-18 trapped in low-level, low-expectations primary courses because they lack the skills for a ‘proper’ high school—the so-called ‘post-primary’ students (p. 10). She argues that governments have misunderstood these students’ cultural needs and requirements, instead falling back on complacent, easy, yet ultimately ineffectual forms of education where students must leave home and family behind to achieve anything more than a modicum of success. These sentiments are echoed by Indigenous students interviewed by Nelson and Hay (2010), who identify school as an attractive place to be, but are discouraged by factors beyond their control, such as inflexible school hours, familial obligations, poor teacher interactions or obtuse, incomplete pedagogy. In classrooms far removed from ideal learning environments, these students find themselves constrained by embedded barriers in a school system that neither values…

    The Accelerated School Project Analysis

    According to Jane McCarthy graduate of University of Nevada she states, “Indigenous peoples are spoken for, not spoken with, in regard to their dreams for the education of their children” (p. 123). Jane McCarthy and Helene Johnson tell about their experiences as an outside teacher teaching on the Navajo Nation. The schools on native nations need to ask what the outstanding educational pedagogies are for the native students and how to implement those practices into the classroom instruction. The Accelerated School Project makes changes to the school curriculum, instruction, and organization which the Navajo Nation School didn’t do so well due to the disconnection with mainstream schools. The Native communities need to come together as a culture…
