Save the First Nations University of Canada

The Canadian Government has a long history of poor relations with our First Nations communities. The long-term damage of their residential school program, in which children were taken from their families and communities to be educated and essentially whitewashed in harmful, racist, sexist institutions for purposes of integration, is just one example of many bad policies.

Now, the government is attempting to cut the funding to the First Nations University of Canada as of April 1st. This would be the first university in Canadian history to have to close its doors. This university works to eliminate intersectional barriers to First Nations students. Please watch the video below and spread the word.
