John Murdoch, principal of the Indian Affairs school at Waskaganish (formerly Rupert House), James Bay, and his wife, Gerti, have initiated a curriculum development project with input from local people and resources. The teaching materials are mainly in Cree and are drawn from Cree traditions. They make use of photographs, artifacts and books that are written and printed in the community. The school year is organized so that pupils have time to go hunting and fishing with their families. This innovative approach makes local control of education a reality in Indigenous communities.
