Four Pillars Project: Request for Proposal – Bids close on August 23 at 11:59 pm
The Gottfriedson Indian Residential School Day Scholars Settlement Agreement was reached on January 21, 2023, between 325 First Nations from across Canada and the Government of Canada. The agreement settles a class action lawsuit that sought damages for the loss of language and culture brought on by Canada’s Indian residential school system.
The Gottfriedson Settlement is intended to compensate the band class members, and funds will be disbursed to each member of the band class. The settlement with the band compensates communities for the collective harms to language and culture that occurred during the era of residential schools in Canada. There were four pillars that represent essential components of the settlement aiming to address the historical injustices faced by Indigenous communities affected by the residential school system.
Temagami First Nation is requesting proposals from qualified consultants to prepare a ten-year community plan.
Four Pillars:
• Revival and protection of Indigenous languages.
• Revival and protection of Indigenous culture.
• Protection and promotion of heritage.
• Wellness for Indigenous communities and their members.
Temagami First Nation (TFN) seeks a qualified consultant to develop a comprehensive ten-year plan that aligns with TFN’s objectives and promotes four pillars. The successful consultant will work closely with TFN staff, residential school survivors, community, elders, youth, and the Four Pillars Society to create a strategic roadmap for the future.
