HTMLKids, skidoos and caribou: the Junior Canadian Ranger program as a model for re-engaging Indigenous Australian youth

06 March 2006The social and educational disengagement of Indigenous youth, who see education and training as irrelevant to their lives and experiences, is a looming crisis for many Indigenous communities in remote Australia.
