The federal government has signed a self-governance agreement “Anishinabek Nation Education Agreement” with 23 Ontario First Nations, the largest such deal of its kind in Canada. The agreement grants communities greater control over education on reserve from junior kindergarten to Grade 12. It also allows First Nations to wield more administrative control of funding for post-secondary education and supports the Anishinabek Nation’s vision of a quality Anishinabek Education System that promotes Anishinaabe culture and language and improves education outcomes for Anishinabek students. The Anishinabek Nations represents 40 First Nations across Ontario, representing an approximate combined population of 60,000 citizens.
