Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples: Presentation by Dolores Andre, Debbie Dedam and Veronique Thusky, Les femmes autochtones en milieu urbain

This file contains a presentation by Dolores Andre, Debbie Dedam and Veronique Thusky focusing on the view that "urban Aboriginal women should have inherent rights like all of the First Nations." Their group offers the following recommendations for urban Aboriginal women: Access to social, health and child care services equal to those of the communities; construction of a network of housing co-operatives be developed in Montreal, Quebec City and Hull, which would be accessible to all Aboriginal people; and that greater financial resources be allocated to the Pathway to Success program to provide more training and better prospects for employment. A question-and-answer session with the Commissioners follows the presentation.
