The Great Questions of Life by Murray Sinclair
The Great Questions of Life by Murray Sinclair
Leading The Good Life (Mino-Pimatasiwin) is leading a flourishing life while learning to live in balance. This is a lifelong endeavour where each learner comes to understand how to live in relationships with others and the natural world with respect, reciprocity, and interconnectedness. As shared by Senator Murray Sinclair, “in order for any society to function properly, it must raise and educate its children so that they can answer what philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, and Aboriginal Elders call ‘the great questions of life’.” (Sinclair).
Vision of Mino-Pimatasiwin
Vision of Mino-Pimatasiwin
All Manitoba learners have the right to succeed, no matter where they live, their background, or their individual circumstances.
This Vision puts learners at the centre and requires focusing all talents, efforts, and resources on improving learner success. Learner success will look different for every child, but it always means they are prepared to reach their full potential and to live The Good Life in which they:
• have hope, belonging, meaning, and purpose
• have a voice
• feel safe and supported
• are prepared for their individual path beyond graduation
• have capacity to play an active role in shaping their future and be active citizens
• live in relationships with others and the natural world
• honour and respect Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing with a commitment to and understanding of Truth and Reconciliation
