The site also includes an interactive map that helps to place all of these key issues for reserves within the larger geographical context of Canada.
The education article questions whether private schools are a better alternative for native kids. The article describes how one private school helped turn around education for native students who have now become leaders in native education. The article also discusses how changes to education funding over the years have made this type of schooling more difficult for native families to access. The page also includes links to interviews with principals, teachers, parents and students.
