For First Nations Peoples, the celebration continues with the ability to take control of their own education. The Residential School legacy has left generational effects. Leaders across Canada are working together to infuse Aboriginal perspectives into curriculum and to maintain an inviting inclusive school atmosphere. Programs have been implemented for years to help preschool children and their parents benefit from culturally sensitive programming. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (2015b) Call to Action is a national wake up call to help Canadians become aware of history with the First Peoples of Canada.  \nCanada will celebrate its 150th birthday on July 1, 2017. The celebrations include a focus on reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, 1 which fosters an inclusive environment. To be effective, ongoing reconciliation efforts must bring awareness to the broader need for Aboriginal perspectives within education curriculum as well as to how the education system has failed Aboriginal people (Fee, 2012, p. 1) . The Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (2015b) Call to Action included a call for education for reconciliation that seeks age-appropriate curriculum on the history of Aboriginal peoples (p. 7) . Prior to European contact, the entire Aboriginal community raised the child because knowledge transfer was necessary for the survival of the community. Various government policies, such as the Residential School system, eroded the parent-child relationship through lack of identity, loss of language, and erosion of traditional practices. As a result, Aboriginal students have failed to strive equally with their non-Aboriginal counterparts. Today, First Nations communities have expressed a need to take control over their own education by seeking solutions with a new lens focused on their children. An exploration of the Residential School system and the Aboriginal Head Start program, as well asthe failure of Aboriginal students to strive and the resultant call for action, illustrate the developments in Aboriginal education over time.  \nResidential Schools  \nThe Treaties were signed in good faith by both the First Nation people and the Crown. As such, it was a shock when government officials decided that it was in the First Nations’ best interest to take their children from their communities and send them to boarding schools. First Nation families believed that teachings should be woven into daily life and be connected with their spiritual beliefs, which made them reluctant to hand over their children to strangers (Truth and Reconciliation Commission, 2012, p. 10) . Government policy stated that Residential Schools would civilize Aboriginal children and assimilate them into Canadian society. There was no indication of a curriculum-based educational system at this time because the intent was “to kill the Indian in the child.”  \nIt was an unfortunate event for the children when they were taken away from their parents as young as four years old. They were placed in the Residential School environment where they did not speak nor understand the English language; Western civilization itself was foreign to them. These children knew only what their parents had taught them through love and commitment back in their homelands. Through the 168 years of Residential Schools  \n1 In this paper, the terms Aboriginal, First Nation, and Indigenous are used interchangeably. These terms are not to blur any differences between groups of people.  \n(Sutherland, 2011, p. 1), students failed to thrive equally with the normal Canadian student.2 This is understandable because curriculum teaching focused on the three R’s – reading, writing, and arithmetic. Due to funding shortage in the Depression years, student class time was cut down to h","cbCainMfaXrUrxyc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainMfaXrUrxyc","pdf",219152,"English","# Seeking Solutions with a New Lens\n## Residential Schools\n## Aboriginal Head Start","[{\"question\":\"How does the paper connect Canada’s 150th birthday to education and reconciliation for First Nations peoples?\",\"answer\":\"It links the celebration to ongoing reconciliation that supports Indigenous peoples’ ability to take control of their own education.
