30 years school fight

In 1979, a 50,000-litre diesel spill pooled under J.R. Nakogee School and after years of seeing students get sick from contamination parents finally pulled them out in frustration 21 years later. There have been promises on and off for almost 30 years to replace the school, but Angus says the community and local native band is no further ahead now that the Conservative government has said building native schools is not a priority.” from Toronto Star

Best of luck to the Attawapiskat kids and parents in getting a real school soon (real soon).
