[...] Issues such as teacher knowledge of the students’ cultural assets, on effective instructional practice, and the importance of a knowledgeable and caring relationship between teacher and student were reinforced in the results of the focus group and interview sessions. [...] Other issues included a focus on success, on the importance of language and culture, on issues related to racism and colonization, and the need to see the importance of relationship within a broader context that transcends the student and teacher within the classroom. [...] Through the Proclamation, the British required that upon the transference of the territories in question...the claims of the Indian tribes to compensation for lands required for purposes of settlement will be considered and settled in conformity with the equitable principles which have uniformly governed the British Crown in its dealings with the aborigines. [...] Gary Merasty, Chair of the Task Force, and one of the individuals interviewed as part of this study commented that: The baggage unfortunately many of our First Nations/Métis, many of them have is the culture of poverty and that people confuse the culture of poverty with the culture of our people.
