CAAS advisors, educators,
traditional teachers, Elders and
affiliated groups bring to our
work the perspectives of a
variety of First Peoples' cultures
and of Canadian regions.

• Our goal is to ensure that all students who graduate from Canadian schools achieve a minimal set of learning outcomes which reflect Aboriginal perspectives on First Peoples' and Canadian history and culture.
• Our efforts focus on:
  • supporting the implementation of curriculum and resource policies directed at inclusion of accurate and valid Aboriginal studies in all non-Aboriginal controlled schools;
  • supporting teaching staff in the challenges implied by our mandate;
  • supporting development of and accessibility to Aboriginal-perspective curriculum resources;
  • improving cross-cultural awareness at all levels of the education system across Canada.
