A plethora of studies regarding Aboriginal education in Canada exists. These studies,more or less, come up with the same findings. They regularly point out what has now almost become rhetoric: the existing education systems in Canada have largely failed the Aboriginal Peoples. From the Hawthorne Report in the 1960s to the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples in the mid 1990s, all point out the same findings: Aboriginal peoples are not succeeding in the present education systems; Aboriginal students have the highest dropout rates; Aboriginal students consistently are at the bottom of performance scales. But the education systems in Canada have also consistently been reportedly unresponsive to the educational needs, wants, strengths, and weaknesses of Aboriginal Peoples. They have largely resisted making the infrastructure, curricular, and pedagogical changes required to effectively service Aboriginal students.
