accounts for the disproportionately high suicide rates among Aboriginal communities? About 17‚500 Canadians committed suicide during the years of 2007 to 2011‚ with 75% of these people being Aboriginal. Furthermore‚ 4.2% of Aboriginal death comes from suicide. Why are these numbers so high? Why are Aboriginals committing suicide? Suicide among Aboriginals is primarily a result of hopelessness and loss of identity. The past of the Aboriginals dictates to them that they have no self-worth‚ and this

Change Step 1: Aboriginal Poverty From Canada’s Bad Treatment Step 2: Contrary to the popular belief‚ the Aboriginal people in Canada do not live a good life. People may ask‚ then‚ where all the money the Canadian citizens have paid for with their taxes has gone to. Truthfully‚ this is an extremely conceited opinion. People believe that the Aboriginals use most of the funds for drugs and alcohol‚ but this is far from the reality. While it is true that many aboriginals do get intoxicated

The term ’Indigenous’ brings a lot to the table. It is used to describe such a diverse group of people that differ ethnically‚ culturally‚ and economically but are supposed to be looked upon as ’one’. But are we really ’one’? Australian Aboriginals and Native Americans have all seemed to make great strides toward equality in the past 200 years. After 200 years one would think that the people of Australia and America would be able to set aside their notions that people of different races are not

The racism that Canadian Aboriginals face is even worse than the racism that African Americans or Canadians face. The government seems to put these issues on the back burner‚ Scott says “Possibly it is because our Fergusons are hidden deep in the bush”.

As somebody who grew up attending a charter school‚ kindergarten through 12th grade‚ I personally advocate for school choice‚ because I strongly believe that parents and students should be able to decide what kind of school to attend‚ but by no means does that mean I am against regular public education.
