We can get a useful perspective on these questions by looking at a major disparity in post-secondary education: participation by gender.

The best way? Maybe not but I think it connects to your previous point of representation and your assertions on the impact it has on the male student.
If you believe that part of a male student's success is negatively impacted because most teachers are apparently female, thus attributing learning and reading to girls due to lack of male representation, doesn't it make sense that increasing the amount of indigenous teachers would have a positive impact on the success rates of indigenous students in the system?
