ATTAWAPISKAT SCHOOL FIGHT

Excuse me, I was mistaken. The Charter of RIghts and Freedoms mentions Aboriginal Treaties as paramount before Canadian citizen rights. Which in turn means, our rights should be taken care of before any other Canadian's. The Charter is entrenched in the Constitution, held as the Supreme Law of the Land.

I don't want to sound conceded as a fellow anishaabe person, but. . .we are ahead of Canadian rights as Anishaabe. I took a Law class at my high school. One, we have rights Canadian's don't. Two, Canadian rights are under the Charter of RIghts and Freedoms (underneath the constitution in power). We get these too. OUR additional rights (education for instance) are under our specific treaties (Attawapiskat is under the same one as my reserve [#9]) and are on the same level as the Constiution.

I wish the government had one collective face so I could punch it.

Truer words have never been spoken!

Naw, Charlie Angus has been fighting alongside these people for years about this issue.

hmmm i remember going to school there when i was in grade 1 and now im in high school attending in a city. I still can't believe that idiot wont just give attawapiskat a new school. they deserve it and the kids too! the water is contaminated, the lake river is getting toilet remain (eew) from de beers. the people have been suffering, more deaths in the community, and more illnes going around. i feel bad leaving from there but i had no choice but to go with my family. i hope they wont give up.

i feel real bad for you

write a letter. this has been happening to Native people around the world for too long.

Coming from a tribe nearly extint by the gov. I feel SO sorry about this! It makes me so angry.
