First Nations Children of Attawapiskat Fight for a School

To:  Minister of Indian Affairs: Chuck Strahl

EDUCATION IS A RIGHT!
HELP ONTARIOʼS FORGOTTEN CHILDREN

For 8 years the children of Attawapiskat, Ontario have had no grade school. They attend classes in cold portables. They have no library and no playground.

The federal government has promised time and time again that it will build a new school. The community has prepared plans and done everything they can to get ready to build the school. Now the federal government has changed its mind. Indian Affairs Minister Chuck Strahl says the children will have to wait another 8 years (five in delay and three for building) before they can have a real school.

The education of First Nation children in Northern Ontario is not a priority for the government.

But the children of Attawapiskat say different. They are fighting for the right to go to a proper school and they are asking other students to help them.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
