Page 67 - Moose Deer Point First Nation

In November 2016, Moose Deer Point First Nation formally
approved a new education agreement with Canada as described
in the quote below:

“The Anishinabek Nation Education Agreement (ANEA) is a self-
government agreement between Canada and 23 Anishinabek
First Nations that recognizes First Nation control over Junior
Kindergarten to Grade 12 Education on and off-reserve. The
ANEA with Canada will provide reliable funding to operate
the stand-alone Anishinabek Education System (AES) … where
Participating First Nations (PFNs) have full control over how to
best allocate [spend] education funding.… The ANEA supports
the Anishinabek Nation’s vision of a quality AES that promotes
Anishinaabe culture and language and improves education
outcomes for Anishinabek students… The decision-making
power over education will rest in the hands of the First Nations
under the AES [Anishinabek Education System].”
