Education Projects
Management of Service Programs
The Education Commission passed a motion on April 19, 2004 to manage the following programs:
- Aboriginal Language Initiative
- First Nations/Inuit Youth Employment Strategies
- Parental and Community Engagement Strategy
- Teacher Recruitment and Retention
- Centennial Scholarship Foundation
Each program outlines guidelines for written proposals which First Nation Communities submit to one of the five Tribal Councils and Bigstone Cree Nation. Proposals are then forwarded to Treaty 8 First Nations of Alberta Sub-Office in Edmonton and are processed. Funding is released based on proposal acceptance. When projects/programs are complete, a final written report summarizing activities is required.

New Paths is an action plan designed to renew the relationship with the Aboriginal people of Canada. This plan builds on the principles of mutual respect, mutual recognition, mutual responsibility and sharing which were identified in the report of the Royal Commission on
Aboriginal Peoples.
Curriculum Development
The Treaty 8 Centennial Curriculum began as a vision with a group of Treaty 8 Elders, leaders and educators, who wished to commemorate the signing of Treaty No. 8 on June 21, 1899. It is appropriate that this effort has begun at the Social Studies elementary level, which is oriented towards people, history and culture. These materials are developed in conjunction with Treaty 8 teachers and First Nation
Directors of Education.
