'There is equitable funding': Bennett says more teachers, new model needed for First Nations education - CBC News | Indigenous

They're already out there. They just need to copy them. One of them is doing particularly well. I'm not positive but I think it's the Crow River Reserve. They managed to combine traditional learning education with a modern education and it's working quite well. They have a 90% high school graduation rate while students end up with a solid grounding in their culture and history as well as the skills and knowledge needed to live in a 21st century world.
There are other reserves with similar success stories but sadly, they are not the norm. Mostly because the successful reserves have Chiefs that actually give a damn about their people and aren't using them to play identity politics.

Vikings in Nfld prior to that.. Speculation on the Egyptians as well

Fishermen from Bristol 500 year before the Vikings.

That's just silly. There were hundreds of aboriginal languages and dialects in the Americas. The fact that one of them has a few words resembling Hebrew is not evidence. What is definitive is that the DNA of the original inhabitants of the Americas has no connection to Jews.

DNA has no specific connection to Jews stupid. And no that does not mean Jews do not have DNA. Work out the odds for the word similarities twit. Do you really think the red man of the Americas happened in isolation from the rest of humanity? If you examine the archeological evidence it is very plain that humans were in the Americas in virtually every form known today thousands of years before the supposed Bering Bridge nonsence. Ship building and sailing is a very old industry.

It appears we have a little disagreement over sources. Mine come from books and articles written by accredited, historians, archeologists, and anthropologists, where yours appear to come from the Book of Mormon. Some native Americans may have Semitic DNA, but only those who came into contact with Jews after 1492. I suggest you attempt to research this topic using accredited sources rather than posting nonsense.

Workbook accused of whitewashing First Nations' history recalled

RICHMOND HILL - A Richmond Hill publishing company says it will recall a children’s educational workbook that online reviewers say “whitewashes” the history of Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
Popular Book Company Canada posted a statement on its Facebook page noting that the description “about the experience between the First Nations and European settlers” in one of its books intended for Grade 3 students needs revising.
Last week, an image surfaced online showing parts of a book that claimed First Nations peoples agreed to move to make room for European settlers.
The company has received a slew of one-star Facebook reviews in recent days as the image of the book spread.
Reviewers have pointed out that First Nations people were forced off of their land, and did not, as the book describes, agree to “move to different areas to make room for the settlements”.
The publisher promised in an initial Facebook post to revise the book in future editions, but now says it will be recalling the workbooks.
It said that while it cannot undo what has already been published, the company is “committed to making things better for future editions.”
The publisher says the book, “Complete Canadian Curriculum 3,” is set to be reprinted shortly, and the “necessary changes” will be made in the new version.
The publisher did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Yes, yes. The Cherokee cheerfully agreed to move from the East Coast to the Great Plains to make room for the New Englanders.

Yes, yes. The Cherokee Teerfully agreed to move from the East Coast to the Great Plains to make room for the New Englanders.

Why should natives have any more rights than any other citizen?

Second question: Who gets to define native. Unless I did the math wrong I have been here the same amount of time as a person with a status card born on the same date and longer than anyone born after that date.

'How dare you come out here': Justin Trudeau berated at Parliament Hill Indigenous vigil
THE CANADIAN PRESS
First posted: Thursday, October 05, 2017 10:05 AM EDT | Updated: Thursday, October 05, 2017 10:30 AM EDT
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stood quietly with his head down Wednesday as families expressed extreme anger toward him about the inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.
Trudeau must reset the inquiry led by four commissioners, Maggie Cywink from Whitefish River First Nation said in a speech to an annual gathering on Parliament Hill.
“If you want to be remembered as a prime minister who is healing ties with First Nations, then you must start with our women and families,” said Cywink, whose sister, Sonya Cywink, was found slain near London, Ont. in 1994.
“Will you be seen as yet another politician, in the very long list of politicians, who simply peddled in the age-old craft of empty promises?
The government’s version of reconciliation looks a lot like colonization, said Connie Greyeyes from Fort Saint John, B.C.
“How do you come out here and say that you support families?” she said.
“How dare you come out here and say these things?”
Before Trudeau began to address the audience, someone in the crowd urged that he “go home.”
He went on to thank family members for sharing their frustration and for challenging him to do better.
“The missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls inquiry is something that I have long believed in, long supported,” he said. “It was never going to be easy.”
His wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, told family members she can’t imagine what it is like to lose a loved one for “senseless reasons.”
“I stand here before you as a woman, as a mother, as a fellow Canadian, as a human being,” she said. “We are suffering with you.”
One of the inquiry’s commissioners, Michele Audette, attended the Hill event.

TDSB cutting 'chief' from job titles out of respect for Indigenous peoples
The Canadian Press
First posted: Wednesday, October 11, 2017 11:36 AM EDT | Updated: Wednesday, October 11, 2017 03:11 PM EDT
TORONTO - Canada’s largest school board says it’s phasing out the word “chief” from senior staff’s job titles out of respect for Indigenous peoples.
The Toronto District School Board says it has been working on removing the term from job titles for a few years, and is close to eliminating it completely.
The board says the word “chief” doesn’t accurately represent the jobs it’s used to describe, and is being replaced with terms like “manager” and “executive officer”.
For instance, the person once called the chief of social work is now the manager of social work.
The board says the word “chief” has also been used in a negative way in the past.
Ontario’s education minister said boards were allowed to have their own discussions over such matters.
“School boards have the flexibility to engage in their own conversations around the steps that should be taken to reflect the recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission,” a spokesman for Mitzie Hunter said in a statement.
Mark Morton, who works at the University of Waterloo’s Centre for Teaching Excellence and is an expert on etymology, said the word “chief” has roots much older than its application to Indigenous peoples.
The word’s root is believed to predate Latin, and also spawned words such as “captain,” he said.
The word “chief” in its modern sense was first used to describe leaders of Irish and Scottish clans in the 1570s, he noted, and it wasn’t until the 18th century that it was applied to the leaders of First Nations.
The TDSB’s effort was the first time Morton had heard of the word being thought of as offensive to First Nations people, but if it was considered truly hurtful, he said it was fair to phase it out.
“If that usage is going to genuinely hurt a group of people, then I would say yes, by all means, let’s see if we can find an alternative,” Morton says. “On the other hand, the word originated outside of the context of First Nations cultures ... and the First Nations associations that it has, I don’t think are negative.”

Health systems often discriminate against Indigenous patients: Philpott | CTV News

Health systems often discriminate against Indigenous patients: Philpott | CTV News

"On Wednesday while speaking at a Public Policy Forum event in Ottawa focused on Indigenous health, Philpott said she had witnessed first-hand the different treatment a female patient who came to see her with a diagnosis of HIV.

"I watched in my clinic the way that my staff treated certain people who came into the clinic," she said.

"Her language was not very polite ... her behaviour in the clinic was disruptive and disturbing and she was rough around the edges. And I watched how my staff interacted with her and saw that they didn't treat her the same as the same guy that walked in and was wearing a business suit."

I wonder if the guy in the business suit was impolite, disruptive and disturbing.

 

[Cannuck]

What a silly thread. This isn't even a top 100 problem

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

I wonder if the guy in the business suit was impolite, disruptive and disturbing.

In my experience, guys in business suits are the worst.

 

[captain morgan]

There is nothing worse than folks in our healthcare system that pretend that they know what procedures they need (requiring that they also know what the problem is) essentially shop for a diagnosis to support their desired treatment

 

[Mowich]

In my experience, guys in business suits are the worst.

Really, Tec..............I thought you were a lawyer. Didn't realize you also hold a medical degree.
