First Nations' Education across Canada requiring a major overhaul and equitable funding
April 11, 2012 - 2:22pm | by brianbeaton
The Chiefs of Ontario were inspired to produce this video in support of the Shannen's Dream Campaign that is diligently working towards ensuring that Canada addresses the longstanding inequity between First Nations schools on reserve and their provincial/territorial counterparts. This inequity denies many First Nations children an opportunity to receive a culturally based education in a proper school. This video provides some background on Shannen Koostachin -- the founder of Shannen's Dream and the continuing work of many who carry on her legacy.
