| 1205 | victor jim | They should keep supporting institutions that are meeting the needs of our people |
| 1206 | Bruce Millar | It is just disgusting that these issues are the same ones that were around in 1985. NOBODY has said that FNTI is a bad idea, governments just will not fund success. They would rather waste millions when there is a crisis and then only if some non aboriginal company can make a profit - just check Davis Inlet. Go get them FNTI |
| 1207 | J. R. Brown | A display of faith, compassion and comradeship as a Canadian to other Canadians is a common value and a grace to extend. An opportunity to enhance the spirit and feeling of self-worth is of inestimable value. |

| 1211 | Dayle Turner | This is truly a disgrace and embarassment to ALL Canadians for the neglect and disrespect shown to our aboriginal communities . If we can fund separe schools, and ALL our post secondary institutions, then why the inequities here? This is blatant DISCRIMINATION which is ILLEGAL and IMMORAL. |

| 1214 | Carolyn Bradford | Please do not further shame our country and province by cutting funding to this important Institute. |
| 1215 | Anonymous | For all the above listed reasons: The Ontario government shall provide equity in operational funding and equity in the conferring of accreditation with its other 24 colleges and 19 universities. |

| 1219 | Anonymous | I agree! This won't begin to start correcting the atrocities FN peoples have gone through over the last few hundred years. BUT it is and will be a good beginning! |

| 1226 | Lena M.Fast | I think the Ontario government has a budget, and
sometimes there are short strings in that budget,
this is where things get cut, which is unfair. |

| 1233 | Anonymous | Yes, this is an important petition on behalf of FNTI and this organization is important to First Nations students who access their programs. |
| 1234 | Philip Fernandez | The FNTI must not be closed because it has played an extremely important role in closing the gap between the educational levels of First Nations post secondary students and post-secondary students in the nation of Canada. It is sheer hypocracy for the Feds and the Ontario Liberal government to purport to be interested in the education of First Nations people on the one hand and to deny stable and sustained funding to the FNTI. The threat of closure of FNTI is an expression of the 19th century colonial values that still underpins the relations between the Crown repesented by the Feds and the First Nations. This must be ended if Canada is to move forward as a society. |

| 1245 | Gloria George, RN | It is a SHAME to Canada and Ontario that a First Nations' institution witha proven track record isn't supported as well as other Ontario post-secondary institutions. Please do what is right. |

| 1247 | Clinton Cornelius | I'm currently an elected councilor of Oneida Nation and I belive whole heartedly that this is another way of keeping our FN peoples surpressed and uneducated by the non natives who would feel threatened by our graduates. We have had graduate come from this institue and with support from our FN and they have benefitted our community and themselves in the process. The closing of this school would only reinforce the general feeling amongst FN people that the white man wants to keep all FN people unecucated and this would possibly eliminate the threat of us wanting to be RESPECTED and obtain the EQUAL education as all Canadians are entitled to. |

| 1250 | Marshall E. George | FNTI has provided a very sound education for First Nation students for many years and it will be a shame if the school closes. The Governments of both Canada and Ontario should be pressured into funding such a worthwhile First Nation school. |
