Education


Examining and defining the reality and lived experiences of Aboriginal people in Canadian history. Education plays an important role in helping children, young people, men and women to understand the past and to contribute to a shared and more peaceful future in societies emerging from conflict. Education is by far the most important determinant of labour market outcomes, and also plays a preeminent role improving social outcomes.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

Fred Sasakamoose, torn from his home at the age of seven, endured the horrors of residential school for a decade before becoming one of 120 players in the most elite hockey league in the world. He has been heralded as the first Indigenous player with Treaty status in the NHL, making his official debut as a 1954 Chicago Black Hawks player on Hockey Night in Canada and teaching Foster Hewitt how to pronounce his name. Sasakamoose played against such legends as Gordie Howe, Jean Beliveau, and Maurice Richard.
