When it comes to our first peoples, Canadians are pretty ignorant. Critics say school is a prime place to fix that. Time to teach more than 'just the basics': Lynda Gray of Urban Native Youth Alliance, author of First Nations 101. Changing the school experience for aboriginal children may be a slow process, but it's one that's getting a lot of attention. After decades of languishing behind their non-aboriginal peers, aboriginal education deficits and reforms are making headlines across the country.
