FSIN, school boards sign Memorandum of Understanding on Treaty education
A group of partners have signed a memorandum of understanding promoting reconciliation through Treaty education.
The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN), the Saskatchewan Indigenous Cultural Centre, the Office of the Treaty Commissioner and the Saskatchewan School Boards Association signed the agreement on Feb. 2. According to a release from the FSIN, the agreement aims to tackle systematic discrimination “in the spirit and intent of Treaty partnerships.”
“This [Memorandum of Understanding] is the first step towards reconciliation through education,” FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron said. “Our children will grow up understanding their inherent and treaty rights.”
Cameron added the memorandum of understanding can end discrimination in provincial education systems.
