Download or read book Knowing the Past Facing the Future written by Sheila Carr-Stewart and published by Purich Books. This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1867, Canada’s federal government became responsible for the education of Indigenous peoples: Status Indians and some Métis would attend schools on reserves; non-Status Indians and some Métis would attend provincial schools. The chapters in this collection – some reflective, some piercing, all of them insightful – show that this system set the stage for decades of broken promises and misguided experiments that are only now being rectified in the spirit of truth and reconciliation. The contributors individually explore what must change in order to work toward reconciliation; collectively, they reveal the possibilities and challenges associated with incorporating Traditional Knowledge and Indigenous teaching and healing practices into school courses and programs.
Download or read book Decolonizing Employment written by Shauna MacKinnon and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous North Americans continue to be overrepresented among those who are poor, unemployed, and with low levels of education. This has long been an issue of concern for Indigenous people and their allies and is now drawing the attention of government, business leaders, and others who know that this fast-growing population is a critical source of future labour. Shauna MacKinnon’s Decolonizing Employment: Aboriginal Inclusion in Canada’s Labour Market is a case study with lessons applicable to communities throughout North America. Her examination of Aboriginal labour market participation outlines the deeply damaging, intergenerational effects of colonial policies and describes how a neoliberal political economy serves to further exclude Indigenous North Americans. MacKinnon’s work demonstrates that a fundamental shift in policy is required. Long-term financial support for comprehensive, holistic education and training programs that integrate cultural reclamation and small supportive learning environments is needed if we are to improve social and economic outcomes and support the spiritual and emotional healing that Aboriginal learners tell us is of primary importance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the findings of an initial assessment of the utilization & effectiveness of employment, job access, and training programs among Aboriginal women in Quebec. The study's first sample focusses on Aboriginal women living in Montreal, and the second focusses on women from three Aboriginal communities in the regions. After an introduction on research methodology and informant characteristics, chapter 1 begins with a sketch of the Quebec Aboriginal population and an overview of the state of employment & education among Aboriginal women. It continues with a profile of employability program clientele by such characteristics as age, origin, level of education. Chapter 2 covers program utilization & effectiveness, based on socio-demographic data gathered during interviews and from statements of informants. Views of resource persons on programs and their utilization & effectiveness are analyzed. Programs specifically tailored to Aboriginal clients are also assessed with regard to such matters as eligibility and training content. The conclusion summarizes the major thrusts of the study and ends with a series of recommendations. Appendices include tables summarizing the information on the programs discussed throughout the report.
Download or read book Literacy Numeracy Technology Skill and Labour Market Outcomes Among Indigenous Peoples in Canada written by Min Hu and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We use the 2012 Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies to examine proficiency in information-processing skills, educational attainment and labour market outcomes among Indigenous peoples in Canada. Similar to previous literature, we find negative earnings differentials, lower employment rates and higher unemployment for Indigenous populations and important differences between First Nations, Métis and Inuit people. First Nations people do much worse in terms of earnings and employment outcomes, while we find evidence that Métis people have worse employment outcomes and negative earnings differentials in the upper part of the distribution. We also find sizable literacy, numeracy and technology skill gaps. Not surprisingly, there is a positive relationship between these information-processing skills and wages. However, the returns to skills are very similar for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, that is, we find no evidence of economic discrimination. Once these skills are conditioned on, the earnings differentials greatly decline. We also find that education can reduce skill and wage gaps, although the additional impact is small. The results suggest a greater need to consider barriers to education faced by Indigenous peoples.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the enormous resources and thought that has been put into improving our educational systems, there has been little success in reducing the gap between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal educational success. This book reviews the actual situation in terms of Métis, Inuit, and First Nations peoples in Canada using the most recent data available. It explores the issues historically, assesses the costs to both Aboriginal peoples and the country, reviews alternative approaches to solving the problems, and includes innovative analysis of the causes of these problems.

Download or read book The New Buffalo written by Blair Stonechild and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-secondary education, often referred to as "the new buffalo," is a contentious but critically important issue for First Nations and the future of Canadian society. While First Nations maintain that access to and funding for higher education is an Aboriginal and Treaty right, the Canadian government insists that post-secondary education is a social program for which they have limited responsibility. In "The New Buffalo, "Blair Stonechild traces the history of Aboriginal post-secondary education policy from its earliest beginnings as a government tool for assimilation and cultural suppression to its development as means of Aboriginal self-determination and self-government. With first-hand knowledge and personal experience of the Aboriginal education system, Stonechild goes beyond merely analyzing statistics and policy doctrine to reveal the shocking disparity between Aboriginal and Canadian access to education, the continued dominance of non-Aboriginals over program development, and the ongoing struggle for recognition of First Nations run institutions.

Download or read book The Indigenous White Earnings Gap and Labour Market Discrimination in Canada written by Mallory Ross and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous people represent four percent of the total population in Canada and are the youngest and fastest growing minority population in the country. Colonialism left Indigenous people disadvantaged in terms of education, health and labour market outcomes relative to the majority population in Canada today. This study looks at the relationship between self-reported labour market discrimination and the annual earnings gap between the Indigenous and white populations as of 2013 using Cycle 28 of the General Social Survey on Victimization in Canada. By employing the Oaxaca (1973) decomposition method, I find between 44.2 and 49.2 percent of the men's Indigenous-white annual earnings gap can be explained by observable characteristics and 50.8 and 55.8 percent of the gap is unexplained. For women, 32.2 percent of the gap cannot be explained when secondary variables such as employment type and disability status are included in that analysis, yet 86.3 percent is unexplained when only education, work experience and geography are observed. Lastly, I utilize a nuanced approach to analyzing the Indigenous-white earnings gap. I find a higher proportion of men reported labour market discrimination who have higher predicted earnings than their actual using human capital coefficients from the white group's earnings regression to predict Indigenous men's earnings.

Download or read book Employment Equity in Canada written by Carol Agócs and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1980s, the Abella Commission on Equality in Employment and the federal Employment Equity Act made Canada a policy leader in addressing systemic discrimination in the workplace. More than twenty-five years later, Employment Equity in Canada assembles a distinguished group of experts to examine the state of employment equity in Canada today. Examining the evidence of nearly thirty years, the contributors both scholars and practitioners of employment policy evaluate the history and influence of the Abella Report, the impact of Canada's employment equity legislation on equality in the workplace, and the future of substantive equality in an environment where the Canadian government is increasingly hostile to intervention in the workplace. They compare Canada's legal and policy choices to those of the United States and to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and examine ways in which the concept of employment equity might be expanded to embrace other vulnerable communities. Their observations will be essential reading for those seeking to understand the past, present, and future of Canadian employment and equity policy.
