First Nations Education Act Under Fire

The Grand Chief of the Anishinbek Nation in northern Ontario says the federal government must stop experimenting with the lives of First Nations children.

Patrick Madahbee is upset with the Feds and their plan to push ahead with the First Nations Education Act.

Madahbee says the government is trying to control the destiny of First Nations people.

Madahbee says Indian Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt has stated that there will be no additional funding for First Nations education until he sees reform of the current system.
