From the Paper:

"First Nation's education is based on traditional values, which put together the principles of wholeness, order, balance, and respect for the spiritual and natural world. They are taught to love and live in Mother Nature and what she brings to everyone's lifestyle. First Nation's students have the right to develop programs and services of the highest quality. They should have the same opportunities as each and every other student in Saskatchewan and Canada towards their future in this world. First Nation's communities, parents, Elders, and teachers expect high quality education and academic skills from their students."
