| Scope and content | This file contains a presentation by Michael J. Diabo and Edward J. Cross that first provides a history of the Kahnawake education system. Their organization seeks more self-sufficiency in education in Kahnawake to continue providing education programs and resources and qualified staffing. Cross notes that the Kanien'kehaka language is spoken by only 10 percent of the Kahnawake community and calls upon the Commission to ensure funding continues for language immersion programs. A question-and-answer session with the Commissioners follows the presentation. | |
