The
Education Committee
"to
develop a better public knowledge of the Beothuk and other aboriginal
peoples of this province "
The Education Committee, a sub-committee of the Beothuk Institute's board
of directors, is working to develop appropriate educational documents,
publications and programs of events. A number of projects related to all
of these areas is under consideration; at present the committee has four
key projects
in progress:
- Promote
an elementary school program
- Promote
a high school program
- Erect
commemorative plaques
"It
is time for us to get to know the Beothuk, to understand them as a people,
not just a moment in our history. When future generations hear the word
Beothuk, I hope that they will think of a vibrant thriving culture, truly
connected to the land that we now inhabit."
