"The success of Métis children is vital to the future of Canada. As we take steps to improve the learning opportunities for young Métis, One Laptop Per Child offers a unique opportunity to connect our children to the world while promoting and preserving the distinct history and culture of the Métis Nation. The Métis National Council is encouraged by the potential of this initiative and is committed to collaborations that offer opportunities for Métis children and youth."
- Clément Chartier, President, The Métis National Council

"One Lap Top Per Child will be vital in building the educational foundation for Canada's future entrepreneurs - Aboriginal youth.  This is an invaluable initiative that will have a profound impact on the Aboriginal community."
- Clint Davis, President & CEO, Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business

"This program is designed to help a child reach out and access a much greater world around them. What it provides is hope."
-Patrice Mousseau, Host/Reporter, News & Current Affairs, Aboriginal Peoples Television Network

Aboriginal youth are the fastest growing population in Canada, but many do not have access to the tools they need to realize their full potential and explore opportunities.  Together with members of the Aboriginal community, corporate Canada and various governments, TBSF will bring the internationally-successful program, One Laptop Per Child, to First Nation, Métis and Inuit children, ages 6-12. As well as providing customized programs to improve literacy, and physical and mental health, this program will allow more children to explore areas within and beyond their communities.
