Indigenous Response to RDP's Strategic Plan
Tansi kitamiskatinawawa. Ninaskomon oma
Kamamoyo-atoskatamah oma
Pimotahaywin-kiskinamotowwin ohci.
Oma meskanaw ka-wichito-yak tansisih-kesi
Nisoteyha-ekwa kakanawapatamah
Kakiya esi-tipastekwaw kiskinoma-tonah.
I greet you. I appreciate the opportunity to work together on this important journey of learning. The willingness and eagerness to partner by all. This path of engagement is us working together, how to synergize the importance of learning and to look at all parts as being interdependent to education.
