A team of First Nation organizations and researchers is launching the First Nations Innovation project to study and celebrate the achievements of remote and rural First Nations with information and communication technologies. We recognize the value of research to support and develop understanding, evidence-based policy and transformative change. The partners are Keewaytinook Okimakanak in Ontario, the First Nations Education Council in Quebec, Atlantic Canada’s First Nation Help Desk / Mi’kmaw Kina’matnewey and the University of New Brunswick.
On Thursday February 21, 2013, the team will launch the new project and website.
