Join the dialogue on the First Nations with Schools Collective’s results of their summer community dialogue with First Nations school community, Knowledge Keepers and youth to inform Canada’s UNDRIPA action plan. The collective is a collaboration of eight First Nations with schools in Ontario. The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples recognizes the national rights of Indigenous Peoples to language, culture, self-determination, and well-being. This Gathering Circle will report on this summer’s dialogue with preliminary findings around a community approach in relation to UNDRIPA and Indigenous education.  It is also an opportunity to have your say into Canada’s UNDRIPA action plan, its measures and reporting needs as it relates to First Nation education.
