Honour the Treaties!
First Nations Education Rally

Parliament Hill, Ottawa— Front Lawn at the Centennial Flame (Fire Pit)

THIS IS A PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION STAGED TO SEND A UNITED VOICE TO THE
GOVERNMENT OF CANADA THAT WE WILL NOT TOLERATE CHRONIC UNDERFUNDING FOR
OUR STUDENTS.

Remember, this rally is about leveling the playing field for First Nation
students and the funding they receive for Post Secondary Education.
Education is a Treaty Right that we need to defend and protect.
Ottawa needs to hear the voice of our young people!
