Integration

Integration of native children into the public school system came about when First nation leaders realized that there were some benefits to be gained from the euro-Canadian model of education. They demanded a model of education that would put their children on an equal footing with those students attending public schools. At this time many First Nations people saw the education provided by native schools as inferior.
