POPSEducation Education is vital for our survival, how ever the education provided is not up to standards with the rest of the world, you see the poor education programs provided to the Native communities lags far behind, for a reason, it's just another way the governments use to keep the Indigenous people under their control.

POPSWilma P. Mankiller, Cherokee Education has always been the back bone of the Native people, I say this as it has always been the Elders who provided us with the knowledge and wisdom, today the younger generation do not know this and are so wrapped up with the new world computerized agenda, that they have lost sight of the true teachers of our people. We can only pray to the Great Spirit that they will open their eyes before it is to late. Remember the ouness falls upon us to guide our children on the true path to knowledge.

POPSEducation Even though this talks about the Cherokee people, this in fact speaks for all Aboriginal peoples, every where. In Canada the First Nation, Metis & Inuit peoples are not taught the same as in the outside world (white mans world) they are behind and kept that way by the governments who regulate education, they were & are never taught history because the Canadian Governments were and are scared to tell the truth about the Canadian history. This can possibly be said by all the governments around the world who suppress the Indigenous peoples of that country. Cougar
