MOU to teach about residential schools

June 22, 2017

Committed to teaching about residential schools (TRC). Signed MOU with 7 First Nations to collaborate to ensure the continued implementation of First Nations culture, history and perspectives into age-appropriate curriculum for students in K-12. This includes developing learning modules on the Peace and Friendship Treaties; the legacy of residential schools; the history and culture of First Nations people, including the history of Crown-First Nations relationships; the legal and constitutional position of First Nations people in New Brunswick; and aboriginal rights and the United Nations’ Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Ongoing professional development for education staff will continue, as well. The MOU also recognizes that First Nations have a right to practise their language and culture, and to fully participate socially and economically in society without discrimination or prejudice.
