The X̱wi7x̱wa Library's First Nations Protest Over Education Funding Cutbacks collection comprises pages from a scrapbook containing photographic materials, newspaper clippings, and pamphlets that document First Nations-led protests against federal cutbacks to the Post-Secondary Education Assistance Program (PSEAP) between 1987 and 1989. The collection's 40 pages capture a critical moment in Indigenous activism and educational rights advocacy in British Columbia from an Indigenous perspective.
