Registration fees will be waived for volunteers.

Within the Forum theme, we will explore the inclusion of Aboriginal values and perspectives in Aboriginal research.  For example, does the research have integrity, is it respectful, does it honour family, community etc? “Shawane Dagosiwin” embraces some of these ideas.

The Forum is organized by a planning committee that includes respected educators from Manitoba's universities, the provincial departments of education, First Nations and Métis governments and various representative organizations.
