From the Paper:

"Throughout Canadian history, the traditional educational system for aboriginal people offered some basic benefits for their children as they sought to achieve an education that would prepare them for adulthood, but the system, like any educational system, was not without its flaws, mutual misunderstandings, and divisive debates. As policymakers have sought to improve First Nations education, a more modern educational system has evolved which is more responsive to the special circumstances of First Nations children. But in the eyes of many First Nations people, modern education in Canada is still in need of further reform."
