To move forward, the authors have developed a conceptual framework with which to re-envision the social, political, and educational goals of a self-governing First Nations education system. Offering a sorely needed fresh perspective on an issue vital to the community, \u003cem\u003eFirst Nations Education Policy in Canada\u003c\/em\u003e is grounds for critical reflection not only on education but on the future of Aboriginal self-determination.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47154551587056,"sku":"9781442660311","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781442660311_p0.jpg?v=1763811529","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781442660311","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
