The Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation says it is very concerned about Minister of Education Bronwyn Eyre's comments regarding treaty education. "We are all treaty people, and treaty education must be a fundamental component of education in Saskatchewan." The STF is asking Eyre to review the ministry's policy and curriculum documents to further Indigenous education. "The minister's comments could serve to divide communities and create unsafe space for Saskatchewan teachers and students," the email continued. "One thing one might discuss is, should there be a specific course on … Indigenous history, history of residential schools and treaties and so on, in a high school-level course as opposed to maybe more infusion into social studies?"
