Treaty 2 Territory – Exciting times within the Treaty 2 Territory with the launching of the first accredited virtual Master Certification in Governance and Nation Development under the Life Long Learning Lodge and the Knowledge College Accreditation process.
As stated in the accreditation process, we are born with the inherent right to receive knowledge. This receiving of knowledge begins in our first school, our home with our mother. Our mother has had the knowledge she passes to us passed onto her. This is our ancestral way of learning; through storytelling and observation.
The Knowledge holders are the elders of our First Nations who are responsible for carrying and transferring our inherent knowledge forward from generation to generation since the time of creation.
Colonization interrupted the holistic transfer of ancestral knowledge with the residential school system. Colonial settler standards of learning were imposed. History reveals the ugly truth of how education was used as a tool for cultural genocide (TRC).
Today (22 October 2020) the LLL Lodge in partnership with the Regional Offices through Operations at FNT2T launched the program and had full participation of our Local Nation Helpers. During the program they will be able to go through their First Written Law (Constitution).
