Four prime ministers have tried to improve education in Indigenous communities, and three of them failed. Is $2.6 billion in new federal money enough to combat high dropout rates and poor resources? The Mi'kmaw in Nova Scotia are having success with a new approach. Is it a model for the rest of Canada?

Our question: What is the key to creating the best education in First Nation communities?
