Indigenous Education
It is important not just for non-Indigenous Canadians to learn about the true and full history of Canada and the Crown's relationship with the Indigenous People of Turtle Island, but for Indigenous People themselves to learn and understand this dark past (and present) as well. It is also important for Indigenous People to further their educations, no matter what the subject matter, and there are plenty of schools and facilities that are here to help. If you know of any others we can add to this databank, please feel free to contact us.
