This is a document from 2010 (51 page PDF) but it still occupies a central position on the Assembly of First Nations website on education issues. The premise is simple, and is restated from a 1974 document: "We want education to provide the setting in which our children can develop thefundamental attitudes and values which have an honored place in Indian tradition and culture." It also speaks to education for the rest of Canada: "it is essential that Canadian children of every racial origin have the opportunity during their school days to learn about the history, customs and culture of this country's original inhabitants and first citizens."
