First Nations student deaths inquest: 5 things Nishnawbe Aski Nation wants

Young people from remote First Nations who are attending high school in Thunder Bay, Ont., need more help to stay safe, according to the Nishnawbe Aski Nation.

The lawyer for the treaty organization, representing 49 First Nations in northern Ontario, recently made several suggestions for improved student safety at the inquest into the deaths of seven First Nations students in the city.

Meaghan Daniel was questioning Norma Kejick, the director of the Northern Nishnawbe Education Council. It operates the Dennis Franklin Cromarty First Nations high school in Thunder Bay, where six of the seven youth who died were students.
