153 Mary Lou ValcampBecause funding has been an issue since FNTI's inception, I would like to see the funding government responsibility settled asap. However like all government/native issues, it takes an exceptionally long time of frustrating negotiations.

158 Tina JordanI find this unfair as well...... I think we have just as much rights as any other race in the world.....We are no different.....Just the skin color, but that really shouldn't matter....I think they should get fair funding.
159 Linda HarrisI am not native but agree that this is a wonderful institution and they should be given the help they need to keep their doors open.

162 Mandy MartinFNTI is a crucial entity, not only provincially and nationally, but also in its ability to provide and translate programs for development and lasting social and economic innovations around the world. It’s past record is astounding. It serves as a model for what should and can be done in post-secondary programming.

171 Georgina Cowie-RogersI feel it is absolutely essential that FNTI receive the needed financial support and resources necessary to continue their good work providing academic opportunities to indigenous people across Canada.

173 mark gallupeI wholeheartedly support FNTI's efforts to secure stable, appropriate and long term funding which is currently enjoyed by mainstrean colleges and universities. Its long overdue!
174 Anita PayneIt's time to stop treating First Nations peoples as second class citizens. They have a right to post-secondary education. Permanent sufficient funding of First Nations post-secondary institutes should be implemented by a federal-provincial agreement.

176 Christine Loftthis unfair situation needs to be corrected

178 Phil JohnIf the Canadian Government can spend millions on United Nations postings and peace keeping assignments around the world why can they not spend a few of those millions in Canada uphold the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Article 13 & 14 that the Canadian Government agreed to?
179 Stephan ForbesAll deserve the same chances. All deserve the same decisions. All deserve the same treatment.

183 William J. BrantIf FNTI was forced to close due to the lack of government support funding funding, it would be detrimental to native education.

185 Judy HattonI believe from personal observation and as a committee member of the restorative justice program,living outside the community that the First Nations Technical Institution is an amazing college.I believe it is a source of pride for the residence of Tyendinaga as well as well respected institute with valuable and learned educators.FNTI must be given the funding they need in order to develop without the ongoing fear of being shut down or inadequately funded.Judy Hatton

194 ChristineFirst Nations school are benefitical to our people for many reasons: - geared to culturally sensitive issues, while receiving all creditted programming, - coming together as first nations where education for our people, especially our youth. - we need both governments, federal and provincial to provide operating funds to 'succeed' as the main stream schooling system around 'post-secondary' - our First Nations, Metis, Iniut people need to support all first nations schools, where possible! - both governments want us to fail.

199 Sarah BrownFNTI's program is unique to First Nations people and at the same time is open to people across the country. It's teachings are so powerful that it has the capacity to change this world one person at a time and I believe that they should have that right, just as every other school across the country. Give FNTI the opportunity to make a difference, Canada really needs this; our future generations really need this!
