MFNERC provides services, resources and supports to First Nations schools in Manitoba.

Description

First Nations were compelled to take back control of education in the historic Wahbung paper of 1971 by the Manitoba Indian Brotherhood (now Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs) and Indian Control of Indian Education position paper in 1972 by the National Indian Brotherhood (now Assembly of First Nations). First Nations then began to build and administer their own schools, but chronic underfunding and lack of support required the creation of an organization that would meet the needs of those schools. In 1999 the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs gave a mandate and established MFNERC to provide administrative, technical, language and educational supports to First Nations Schools in Manitoba. The Goal of the Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre was approved by motion of the MFNERC Board of Directors on December 5, 2004, the revised mission of the MFNERC is: “To help First Nations improve education for all learners to achieve: mino-pimatisiwin (Cree/Ojibway/Oji-Cree)” “To help First Nations improve education for all learners to achieve: honso aynai (Dene)” “To help First Nations improve education for all learners to achieve: tokatakiya wichoni washte (Dakota)” The purpose of MFNERC is to provide education specialist service delivery to First Nation schools in Manitoba, and to provide training, guidance, and support to First Nations staff and educational leadership to facilitate capacity building.
