Educators from across northwestern Ontario, Minnesota and Manitoba are gathering in Fort Frances today for the start of a three day conference focusing on native education.
Aboriginal Education Leader with the Rainy River District School Board Brent Tookenay tells B93 News the conference is in its third year.
"It was usually focused on just native languages," says Tookenay, "but now we've expanded it to native studies and tried to draw in some different areas. Teachers can take these workshops and apply some of the concepts and themes in their classroom."
The conference features a number of guest speakers and workshops.
