National Chief Shawn Atleo In Thunder Bay

National Chief Shawn Atleo, along with other Aboriginal leaders are responding to the Federal Governments First Nation Education Act. While speaking in Thunder Bay Atleo says he has felt support from First Nations communities across Canada in wanting more control over their education system. Atleo compared the proposed education act to the residential school system saying it does not provide a guarantee for children to learn about First Nations culture and heritage.
