| 1355 | Anonymous | Hopefully, the gov't of canada sees that this is all our First Nations access to quality education services/delivery. As some individuals cannot afford to take full-time studies and FNTI offers a way to obtain a Public Administration degree and/or other degrees. |

| 1359 | Roger Langen | As a member of the OSSTF Human Rights Committee, I am certain I speak on behalf of many of our members in Ontario who must feel, as I do, that institutional racism remains a major problem in federal and provincial governance. The FNTI is a stunning example of everything that we should support in Aboriginal self-restoration and enablement. To actively prevent the continuance of such a record of education and achievement, where we ourselves have failed, suggests that our failures are perverse and deliberate.
District 12 OSSTF will be meeting publicly with Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Ontario, Michael Bryant at 4:30 p.m. on April 7. D12 members are invited by the Political Action and Human Rights committees to attend and make their views known. |

I was really looking forward to attending the school. |
| 1361 | Erika Gates-Gasse | The FNTI is a success story that gives me hope. The fact that our governments are threatening the survival of an institution so important to the thriving of the First Nations really saddens me. |
| 1362 | Shelley Boucher | With a 90% employment rate, I don't see how the gov't can consider shutting it down. Most colleges don't show a 90% employement rate. Graduates are productive citizens once they graduate. |

| 1369 | Janet Onalik | FNTI is not only contributing to the success of individual First Nations students that attend its college courses. It is also influencing indigenous education in Nunavut and other areas of Canada, as well as internationally, through its Prior Learning Assessment & Portfolio Recognition projects. These projects have the potential to significantly influence human resource policy regarding the hiring of First Nations people. FNTI is on the leading edge of this work internationally. Lack of financial stability for FNTI threatens loss of one of Canada's most important knowledge development centres and a loss of our reputation internationally as leaders in the field of indigenous education. |

| 1371 | Stephanie Mikki Adams | Article 13 - Indigenous peoples have the right to revitalize, use, develop and transmit to future generations their histories, languages, oral traditions, philosophies, writing systems and literatures, and to designate and retain their own names for communities, places and persons.
… States shall take effective measures to ensure that this right is protected…
Article 14 - Indigenous peoples have the right to establish and control their educational systems and institutions providing education in their own languages, in a manner appropriate to their cultural methods of teaching and learning… States shall, in conjunction with indigenous peoples, take effective measures, in order for indigenous individuals…to an education in their own culture and provided in their own language. |

| 1374 | Cindy Van Eindhoven | This is the most ridculous thing I have ever heard, we are aboriginal but we are not Indians although there is nothing wrong with being Indian this just goes to show that the gov't only has their best interests in mind not our futures. |
