Raised in the remote fly-in community of Wapekeka, Miranda faces the same daunting challenge as many First Nations youth: there’s no high school on reserve. To continue the education most Canadians take for granted, the 14-year-old must leave the only home she has ever known and travel 500 km south to Thunder Bay. She’ll be alone, living with strangers in a boarding home. Her parents must stay in Wapekeka to work.
