The Importance of Reverse Tuition Agreements to Self-Determination in the Educational System: A Cree First Nation.

Tsuji, Leonard J. S.

Canadian Journal of Native Education, v22 n1 p67-76 1998

Indian and Northern Affairs Canada funds education only for on-reserve band members; off-reserve residents must pay tuition to attend reserve schools. Moose Cree Educational Authority proposes "reverse tuition agreements" whereby local school boards purchase services from First Nations for off-reserve band members. Difficulties encountered relate to questions about local control of Indian education. Contains 22 references. (SV)
