- English or French submissions accepted (First Nations language submissions will be accepted if an English/French translated version is also submitted);
- Submissions are encouraged to be related to your vision of our future generations, such as the one suggested by the AFN Youth Council:
Our people will live as healthy, self-determining First Nations in which they value and respect their individual lives, families, communities and nations. Our future generations will be raised only on truth and they will live and love their traditional roles, family history, and understand how history relates to who they are. Our people will trust – trust within themselves, within the family, trust within the community, and with other nations, lands and resource;
