First Nations students have for years been attending universities across Canada and they even have their own university in Saskatchewan with three campuses.  "The university designed special programs in partnership with Aboriginal communities to meet the human resource needs of Aboriginal communities in areas such as health, education and the environment...."

The majority of students graduate from programs in the "humanities" i.e. social services, counsellors, and many in nursing and health programs.  I tried to get an accurate # of graduates but couldn't find any numbers.

My question is this:  Where are the graduates in all these programs, many of whom came from reserves just like these?   Since we white people will "never understand" their lives and problems, where the hell are their own people with the background and education to help?  We all hear they need money for mental health - what good will that do if the people sent there "will never understand" FN lives or culture?
