NAN Reserves Comment On Act

The Nishnawbe Aski Nation will not be commenting on the Harper governments attempt to change the First Nations Education Act until Monday.  The new Act includes a promise of one and a quarter billion dollars for First Nations schools across Canada starting in 2 years along with a promise of half a billion dollars for new infrastructure over 7 years beginning in next year.  It also pledges to give First Nations control of their education system along with funding for language and culture programming.  A NAN spokesperson wouldn't give a reason for the delay in reacting to the legislation.
