Even when he announced his intentions to leave politics, Keith Goulet couldn't help but be a trailblazer.

Saskatchewan's first Aboriginal cabinet minister became, by his own volition, Saskatchewan's first Aboriginal former cabinet minister in mid-October.

Goulet announced that he was not going to run in the next provincial election, expected within two years. Goulet said he's returning to his first love, teaching and education. To do that, he's going back to school in order to get his doctorate.
