Relevant services on Six Nations include student support workers in schools and tutoring and homework programs.<\/p>\n SNHS outlined the amounts of funding the organization is seeking approval from Indigenous Services Canada: service delivery will be in the amount of $5,437,369 and service coordination will be in the amount of $8,791,296.<\/p>\n Six Nations Elected Chief Mark Hill spoke on the importance for the community to be able to offer the supports in the program for Six Nations youth.<\/p>\n \"We've been trying to really get a handle on Jordan's Principle funding,\" he said. \"Now that we've had the kids out of school for COVID-19, we've had the kids impacted by the strike, it's just constant that our students are the ones most impacted and have minimal support.\"<\/p>\n \"We have to go above and beyond at this point,\" he added.<\/p>\n SNEC showed support for SNHS and carried the motion brought to the May 1 General finance meeting.
