There is no school on-Reserve only Wawa Schools (Catholic, French, and Rainbow) for students on-Reserve. The land is filled with eco-rich soil that has been a place for such sacred plants. The people of this land have been hunting, fishing, trapping, and the uses of traditions from their Ancestors. This community is building a socio-economic independence with a strong focus of community and cultural identify.
