Aboriginal peoples in Canada

Residential schools for Aboriginal people in Canada funded by the government were set up to eliminate parental involvement in the intellectual, cultural, and spiritual development of Aboriginal children. The continuing influence of residential schools has persisted and led to the continued existence of social problems. There were many negative effects, they were robbed of their mother tongue, the residential schools also prohibit the use of their traditions, teachings, and customs. Children have

problem The Aboriginal people of Canada are suffering due to poverty and the lack of education is one of the major reasons for that. The Aboriginal Educational Society of Canada believes that the Canadian government needs to increase the funding for Aboriginals in secondary and post secondary because many do not get the opportunity to pursue an education due to lack of funding. They Canadian government also needs to start teaching kindergarten to grade 12 about Aboriginal history as it

Aboriginal-Canadians have an excessive history of mistreatment and discrimination in Canada. Europeans considered Canada’s First Nations as savages, eventually residential schools were created which in extreme cases were comparable to Prisoner of War camps. According to Evelyn Kallen, “Substandard housing breeding disease and death, closed schools due to lack of teachers, heat, and/or running water are only two examples of continuing, dehumanizing life conditions on many reserves” (198). Although

left behind in Canada was not a positive one. Residential schools, up until the day that the last one closed in 1996, were supported and funded by the Canadian government. The aboriginals who attended these schools were treated unethically, and, as a result, the Aboriginals had many bitter feelings of resentment towards everyone else living in Canada. The immoral treatment of the First Nations people by the Canadian government severely impacted relations between Canadians and Aboriginals. The severe

come from certain religions, cultural practices, geography, history or from a multitude of other reasons. Despite this, a unique nation usually gains its originality and identity from its people. The way the people interact, live, work, play and have come to exist dictate how others perceive them as a culture. Canada is a provocative country with a divergent population.

The Adaptive Nature of Canada?s First People The Canadian people have always prided themselves as champions of democracy and are universally respected for their record on human rights. Although holistically this could be argued, especially when compared to the United States and other Western states, the record concerning Aboriginals, both past and present, has yet to live up to their self-set standard. Defined simply as anyone who traces his/her ancestry back to pre-European colonization, there

imperialistic, invasive subversion force on the Native People in Canada. In my opinion, it was a perfect example of linguistic chauvinism. I believe that to destroy one's culture and political integrity, language plays a critical role in accomplishing it.However, the Canadian government took this into consideration and implemented harsh policies towards the aboriginal people of Canada. The Canadian government made it compulsory for Aboriginal children between the age of 4 and 16 years to attend the

The Canadian government enacted an Indian Act in 1876 which outlines their approach towards the elimination of the Aboriginal government, land, religion, and so on. This policy’s central goal was to assimilate the entire aboriginal population into Canadian civilization. The act described how to categorize one as an Indian, how one could lose their Indian status, the abolition of Native traditions and practices, and much more. Through residential schooling, which was administered through the Indian

Canada is viewed internationally as one of the best nations to live in. Canada was recognized in the Human Development Index report created by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in July 2014 for being in the top 10 countries internationally. According to the UNDP, the Human Development Index “is a summary measure of average achievement in key dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, being knowledgeable and have a decent standard of living (UNDP, 2014)”. Furthermore

Aboriginal history In the early 19th century aboriginals were systematically discriminated by Canada. From 1880 to 1996 Canada forced 150,000 aboriginal children into residential schools (J.R. Miller, Tabitha Marshall, 2012,). The main goal of the residential schools was to strip the natives off their culture and beliefs, replacing it with western beliefs and ideals. The last residential school closed in 1996 however, the effects of it still lingers on in the aboriginal community. As stated by the
