Back to school splits youths from families and culture
About 150 students from John George Martin Memorial School in Wunnumin Lake First Nation begin a back-to-school moment facing Grade 10 limits. Education director Tom My Sainnawap notes crowded classrooms and a looming need for northern high schools to keep language and identity from leaving when children move to Thunder Bay or Sioux Lookout for diplomas. MPP Sol Mamakwa joins Wake the Giant Music Festival in Thunder Bay to welcome northern students and urges regional support to preserve culture and safety.
