- Summary
- As the 21st century progresses, happenings in Aboriginal communities are increasingly gaining the attention of Canadians. Some headway has been made in several significant areas such as constitutional status, treaty negotiations, economic development, land claims, residential school litigation, and health and welfare. The number of Aboriginal youth graduating from high school has increased, and a greater number of Aboriginal youth are enrolled in post-secondary institutions.Despite these gains, however, there are a number of related frontiers in education to conquer if Canada's First Nations are to gain equality with other Canadians. Six of these frontiers are outlined in this book and constitute vital topics of concern.
