This research project was developed to engage literacy stakeholders in a research initiative relevant to Aboriginal people. The intent is to facilitate a process that will ensure that Native literacy in Ontario is perceived, acknowledged and recognized “wholistically” as distinct to Aboriginal peoples, in relation to mainstream literacy.
This document is part of the Literacy and Aboriginal Peoples ‘Best Practices' Native ‘Literacy' and Learning research project, which began in September 2001.
