OTF Report on First Nations

One out of five people in Northwestern Ontario are Aboriginal.

That data is from the Ontario Trillium Foundation's report on First Nations communities.

Spokesperson Alexis Mantell says the report will be put to good use.

The report shows that the younger generations are better educated than their parents, but most have not completed school.

Unemployment levels for first nations are also nearly double that of the overall population.
