Two rival groups are now occupying a school on the Piapot First Nation in Saskatchewan.

The new group is made of parents and teachers. They say they will stay until the school is reopened.

The first group is made of parents. They say they will stay until the school changes its curriculum, which they believe is hurting their students, many of whom were placed in special education.

The school has been closed for nearly a month. The Department of Indian and Northern Affairs has obtained a court order to remove protesters from the school. A meeting between the department and the first group failed to resolve anything.
