Document Summary

Won"t be big recognition of autonomy of aboriginal peoples. Conservative judicial decisions help to preserve the status quo. Examples where state implemented laws/policy initiatives to move beyond exclusion and neglect of first nations peoples. Despite some gains in educational participation, aboriginal peoples continue to lag well behind average rates of participation. Access to education and to what sort of education is a recurrent theme in first. Nations issues: rather than personal or simply familial issues, many respondents presented these as systemic barriers, many students who began postsecondary studies reported racist and sexist classroom issues, lamented very limited offerings on first nations issues. Despite successful programmes run by native bands in my provinces, many native students and low-income children in general do not complete school, college, or university studies. Another controversial issue is the history of discrimination and the law in canada is the treatment of native families.
