Education to our younghas to be reflective of how to
maintain balance and harmony with our natural world.

We must, through example, inspire our
students to be critical in their thinking.

The Greatest Challenge
What is “SUCCESS”?
Seeds germinatewhen the environmentis appropriate.

Knowledge is not a tool but rather it is a spirit.
It transforms theholder. It also reminds us that we have responsibilitiesto the spirit of that knowledge.
We must pass it on.

This is living knowledge.“Principle for Humility” is based on
Lnu’k knowledge that has beenevolving for the past 10,000 years.

It is not enough to go through life with one perspective; we must embrace all the tools we have ...
![Page 12: Mi’kmaw Kina’matnewey: “Language and Culture” Community](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61cb73056ae6342264387a82/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The onus is on the person to look at our
natural world with two perspectives.
Modern sciencesees objects,
but our language teaches us to see
subjects.
Our language teaches us that everything alive is
both physical and spiritual.
artist Basma Kavanagh

… especiallyour inter-dependence
on each other andon Mother Earth
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All people must learn “Two-Eyed Seeing”
so that knowledge ofthe physical is
not separated fromwisdom of the spiritual.

Consciousness of Knowing

Through utilization of the Gifts from Creator we can become whole. We can take care of our needs: living, dwelling,
physical, and spiritual.
Education is critical because we have been disconnected from the
natural world so the lessons need to be
transferred to the young so they too can address
conservation and culture.

As Elders in Our Time
We seek to be a conduit for wisdom of our Ancestors. We seek to see with “Two-Eyes” … to take the accomplishments of the white man’s ways further by blending it with the wisdom of our Ancestors.

In ancient times, people with exceptional vision discovered that one of the brightest stars in the Big Dipper was, in fact, two stars so close
together than most people cannot distinguish them. The two stars, Alcor and Mizar, were the first binary stars -- a pair of stars that orbit each other -- ever known.

Strategic Planning
Strategic Planning has been a major focus of attention. A blueprint of goals and objectives is critical to effective operation. There are many critical junctures expected to be faced in First Nation educational initiatives...
The process of planning must also involve each community looking at its goals, objectives, governance, and resources. Mi’kmaw Kina’matnewey is available to assist communities by holding information sessions or facilitating planning sessions. This year Molly Den Heyer and a group of MBA students have been retained to be facilitators for the communities.
This process will provide facilitation and feedback mechanisms to help the communities and MK to develop/update their five year strategic plans and develop new updated operational plans. These mechanisms include: planning and facilitation of meetings; advisement with regard to program management; and involvement with the written reports. The project is designed so that the content is driven by MK and member communities. Second, the process helps to build long-term capacity within MK. and its member communities. Lastly this joint planning session develops a communal relationship among MK member communities in addressing issues in Mi’kmaw Education.
