Post-secondary education, often referred to as the new buffalo, is
a contentious but critically important issue for First Nations and
the future of Canadian society. While First Nations maintain that
access to and funding for higher education is an Aboriginal and
Treaty right, the Canadian government insists that post-secondary
education is a social program for which they have limited
responsibility. In The New Buffalo, Blair Stonechild traces the
history of Aboriginal post-secondary education policy from its
earliest beginnings as a government tool for assimilation and
cultural suppression to its development as a means of Aboriginal
self-determination and self-government. With first-hand knowledge
and personal experience of the Aboriginal education system,
Stonechild goes beyond merely analyzing statistics and policy
doctrine to reveal the shocking disparity between Aboriginal and
Canadian access to education, the continued dominance of
non-Aboriginal people over program development, and the ongoing
struggle for recognition of First Nations-run institutions.
