Shannen Koostachin was a student growing up in Attawapiskat First Nation, a small community in Northern Ontario. The local school closed 20 years ago after an oil spill and since then the children have had nothing but a few portables to learn in. This is the story of Shannen's fight to have a new school built in her community.
