On Nov. 18, high school students at Kihew Asiniy Education Centre in Saddle Lake hosted a youth rally. Youth came together to address concerns of the past, present, and future; issues such as the history of Indigenous education, the current funding gaps in education, culturally relevant education, health care, environment, as well as misconceptions and stereotypes regarding the First Nation education systems were addressed. Speakers were primarily youth but included Gitz Crazyboy and Amber Dion, who are active in Indigenous issues.
