TRC Calls to Action: #12




Legacy
Education

12. We call upon the federal, provincial, territorial, and Aboriginal governments to develop culturally appropriate early childhood education programs for Aboriginal families. 

This one is fairly straightforward, and again underlines the importance of honouring and sustaining Aboriginal identities and cultural practices. Since the first few years of a person's life are the most integral to development, it is essential that during these years we nurture Indigenous children in culturally appropriate ways in order to set them up for success.
