Be sure to check out the existing First Nation web sites as well as the different First Nation schools web site that are being developed under this project.

All First Nation schools and communities are invited to use the existing domains (firstnationschools.ca and firstnation.ca) to create their own web site using the on-line resources being made available under this SchoolNet program.
