The Minister has made reference to a very important topic in the history of the people of the Northwest Territories and I want to applaud him and his staff for producing a residential school curriculum for the people, for the students, and I look forward to the Minister providing me with some information on the health curriculum that’s needed in our high schools. We could have that discussion at that time.

I want to continue on with the curriculum and I want to ask the Minister is there’s any thought about the department looking at a Dene Kede language curriculum that would be important for our people. I know one resident in Deline talked about a language curriculum for our people. More so the

support that what they’re learning in school needs to be supported by the parents in the community so they can speak to each other and they know what’s being taught in school. The parents want to know the terminology, what language sounds they’re making in kindergarten and Grades 1, 2 and 3 so they could talk to the children and say we can support you through a concept of homework. Is the department looking at some type of a language curriculum pilot project that would support the parents in the community and support our language initiatives, and to strengthen the training of our students? Would the Minister briefly elaborate on my question? Thank you.
