This report provides not only the summaries of the presentations of the six Animation Theme Bundles, including their priorities and processes for exploring promising practices in each of the thematic areas, but also includes summaries of the participant commentaries coming from evaluations after the conference in relation to the conference themes. Based on the preliminary research findings of the bundle themes, and the evaluations provided by the participants at the conference, this report then offers a detailed analysis of the problems, prospects, and the future direction of Aboriginal learning in Canada.
