By Aboriginal heritage, we mean First Nations, Métis, Inuit, and non-status Aboriginal people. Any child identified as having an Aboriginal heritage is eligible. The Aboriginal ancestor can be a parent, grandparent, great-grandparent, etc. Funding provided by the Department of Education for this program is used to enhance academic, language and cultural programs for identified children.
