Some Alberta Indigenous leaders and an elder say the provincial government has used them or misrepresented their positions to gain endorsements for a new elementary school curriculum they do not support. "I have reviewed the K-6 curriculum draft and I very much support it and see it as a really good start," he said at the time. But when he later saw the hundreds of pages in the actual draft curriculum, his perspective changed. Treaty Six Grand Chief Vernon Watchmaker said the government needs endorsement from Alberta treaty leaders who are familiar with the draft curricultum. She said First Nations, Métis and Inuit content will be taught in every subject and in every grade.
