Module 2 post 1

When researching topics for my final project I came across this website www.shannensdream.ca. The story is a very powerful one about a young Attawapiskat First Nation student named Shannen Koostachin who advocated for “safe and comfy schools and culturally based education for First Nations children and youth”. Tragically, Shannen passed  away in a car accident in 2010 before she could see her dream of a proper school in Attawapiskat being build. However, her dream lives on. The website provides lots of resources on first nation education and the below YouTube Video is very moving and provides information on Shannen’s story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gy38grr35c&list=PL6690B25BABF0D0E5
