View Legislation

In 1972, the National Indian Brotherhood, now the Assembly of First Nations, adopted a seminal policy paper, Indian Control of Indian Education. The 1972 policy paper proposed that the Government of Canada and First Nations work together to put in place the financial and educational resources needed to enhance the success of First Nations learners through Indian Control of Indian Education. To support this policy, the document laid out the principles and values underlying First Nations learning, starting with a Statement of Values.
