| Scope and content | This file contains a presentation by David Peter-Paul that first provides a brief history of government funding and Aboriginal education in Canada. Peter-Paul states that "(T)he federal government, by virtue of its relevant sections outlined in the treaties, the Constitution Act and the Indian Act, has a fiduciary responsibility to provide adequate resources for all levels of education for First Nations people. This includes education at the elementary, secondary, adult and post-secondary education levels." The presenter feels that "without a legislated guarantee that post-secondary education will be resources for generations to come, the prospect of self-government for Aboriginal people within Canada is severely weakened and most likely obliterated." A question-and-answer session with the Commissioners follows the presentation. | |
