One of the most important decisions parents can make is where to raise their family. For aboriginal parents that decision can be even tougher: on a reserve there are strong cultural influences and often a huge extended family to rely on, but cities offer more job opportunities and often better schools.

This segment features Roger Obonsawin of the Aboriginal People's Council.
