FSIN holds rally for treaty right of post secondary education

FSIN holds rally for treaty right of post secondary education

The Federation of Saskatchewan Indians Nations (FSIN) organized a large rally at the First Nations University in Regina stating that post secondary education is a treaty right. Hundreds of students were on hand with some traveling hours to attend. The students could be heard cheering the speeches delivered by the chiefs.
Just two thoughts for FSIN:

1. Nobody is stopping you from getting an education, and

2. Nothing in the treaty promised you your own university outside of the existing system.

You have the right to an education as promised by the treaty - I suggest you encourage more of your people to take advantage of that right and to make use of the education provided, regardless of the delivery method. Do this, and the income and living conditions will improve within a generation. Do it not, and you sacrifice yet another generation to abject poverty, self-pity and self-loathing. The rest of the population can't make this decision for you, but we are dependent on your choice.

Good Luck.
