‘A good start’

By Leith Dunick, tbnewswatch.com

The recent joint announcement by INAC Minister Duncan and AFN National Chief Atleo of a blue ribbon panel on FNs elementary-secondary education has the hand prints of INAC officials all over it.  First of all, who but INAC would advance the absurd idea that a non-FNs chair should lead the panel in this day and age?  There are more than enough seasoned and qualified FNs educators and academics in Canada today who could easily fill the role and with such a critical mandate as elementary-secondary education, the entire panel should be composed of qualified FNs.
