In September 1999, the Tripartite Education Committee initiated a study of P.S.E. in Nova Scotia.  The committee identified a need to conduct comprehensive research on Native post secondary education programs, policies and relationships to community and how to access them.  The purpose of this research is two fold.  First, it is to find out what type of model (s) would be feasible to implement in Nova Scotia which will address the needs of the Mi’kmaw community at the post secondary level.  Secondly, the research will provide the committee with the information needed to determine the feasibility of the creation of a Mi’kmaw Studies chair in Nova Scotia.

Cathy Martin was chosen by the Education Tripartite Committee to undertake this study with Mi’kmaw Kina’matnewey acting as the financial administrator. The project is divided into two phases with work on Phase I set for completion by mid-March, 2000.
