Algonquin
Nation protocols include how The Indigenous Education Council
(IEC) meetings are conducted and the process of decisions and
procedures. Read the full protocol document.
Please note the procedures for non-Indigenous guest attendees:
In Algonquin communities,
a person wishing to come into the territory had to make a request. In
the case of IEC, a request to be invited into the circle has to be made.
When guests request to attend the IEC the following steps must be
taken:
- The request must be emailed or in writing at least three weeks before the meeting.
- The
request must include their name, position, the reason why they wish to
attend as well as what they plan to do with any information they are
gathering.
- Community
members/Parents can send a request. However, as members of the
community it is not necessary for them to outline their purpose.
Identifying as community members will suffice.
- The requests will be discussed and determined by the Algonquin representatives of the IEC.
