The Breakout Project Case Study

The documentary begins with a recounting of issues faced by indigenous people in Northern British Columbia stating that the economic growth is strong, however the division of wealth sharing is still not in place, forcing smaller communities to live below the poverty line, with an unemployment rate as high as 92% in some first nation reserves. The issue of the murdered and missing women and girls is a sad result of systemic and socioeconomic issues that have

The video “Still Waiting in Attawapiskat: Will Canada Fail the Next Generation of First Nations Students?” was released in 2008 based on the inequity that first nations experience in poverty, education, safety, mental health and so on. The main issues were focused on poor education environment and youth mental health.

I am writing to you today in hopes of shedding light to some of the hardships the Lac La Ronge Indian Bond, and I’m sure other First Nation communities in northern Saskatchewan, and perhaps even across Canada, have been and still are facing. I understand that you have many other pressing matters to deal with in this time of distress but the way you have managed our situation… it almost seems as if you have forgotten us. You’ve wanted us to become part of the “Canadian” society and leave behind our traditions, heritage, and culture, yet now that all of Canada is in poverty and sickness you want us to return to our land.

There is a reason why we have so many homeless aboriginals here in Canada and its because what we're doing isnt working. Government isn't properly dealing with these kind of issues yeah Ottawa has invested 1 billion but has Ottawa only invested provinces haven't contributed

Our goal is to end homelessness in 10 years by creating a framework for a portable housing for people to receive housing assistance flexibility to choose where to live. For this reason, we are proposing legislation for inclusionary zoning because it would enable municipalities to ensure affordable housing. Ontario has updated the Long-Term Affordable Strategy legislation, which was implemented in 2010, because we want to implement people-centered housing program and provide municipalities with flexibility to meet local needs in the community. We are introducing new legislative and policy measures by investing $178 million over the

Illustrating the way in which Canada is still oppressive towards Indigenous peoples, the article Idle No More Combats a Five-Hundred Year-Old Debt details a movement set forth by four Indigenous women working towards abolishing the discriminatory provisions outlined within Bill C-45. With Indigenous sovereignty and the protection of land and water in mind, the Idle No More movement protests the injustices caused by Bill C-45 against Indigenous treaty rights while advocating for environmental protection. Taking a feminist approach on the issue of Bill C-45, these women have created a movement that empowers Indigenous women to fight for justice among Indigenous nations. This was done by arguing that Indigenous women should have some influence

(Berger 214) His commitment to engaging in genuine discussion with indigenous communities, and to providing them with a platform to have their voices heard by Southern Canada is clearly evident. For example, regarding the notion of land he states that “the native people's relationship to the land is so different from that of the dominant culture that only through their words can we comprehend it.” (137) Berger's approach, which is largely focused on dialogue, demonstrates his treatment of the natives as active participants in his research with meaningful contributions. Furthermore, his approach is results-driven, as his recommendations follow from consideration of their potential consequences. This is similar to the “emancipatory research” Smith describes, which aims to empower communities and support their betterment.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau arrived at the treaty four governance center in Fort Qu'Appelle Tuesday April 26th. He was met with cheers from a crowd and after shaking hands with many of them listened to a short drum circle ceremony. “I want to hear from all of you, I want to hear some of the concerns, some of the issues,” he told the chiefs from the Five Hills Qu’Appelle Tribal Council. Trudeau said his government is taking significant steps to renew the relationship between the federal government and First Nations in Canada. On his trip Trudeau also met with selected youth to hear their input as well. He wanted to make sure they know that they have a voice as well.

“Through their passion, vision and actions, these inspiring young Ontarians will contribute to their communities, their province, our nation and the world in creative and impactful ways,” said

Comparatively, Elle-Maija Tailfeathers’ “A Red Girl’s Reasoning” and A Tribe Called Red’s A Tribe Called Red offer nearly polar narratives on the intersection between Canadian First Nation identity and urban Western cultural norms. While the former takes an indefinite critical stance on the exploitation of First Nations in Western society, the latter offers a creative product which utilizes juxtapositions between Western First Nations’ culture.

It is difficult to promise change when many people are still ignorant and unaware of the truth. The First Nations’ stories are eliminated from our history, and we are now painstakingly trying to bring it back. I am really privileged to have been a part of two events that clarified Canada’s past. In return, I would like to continue making the influence of colonization known, help restore the Indigenous identity, and most importantly, assist them in their healing.
