Description
Uses 2014 survey data collected from non- Indigenous residents of seven cities. Respondents were asked about a stronger Indigenous presence in governance and public places.
Examines existing programs operating in Canada, evidence of impact on service utilization, health, and overall quality of life, and the need for Indigenous components in addictions treatment.
Project consisted of analysis of print media coverage and interviews. Five topics came to the forefront: leadership, mothering, families and transitioning out of sex work, ethical and effective service, and the media.
Looks at women's experiences in Edmonton, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Toronto, and Montreal. Research involved literature review and interviews with forty-six Inuit women, twenty-two service providers, and, when possible, focus groups. Four objectives of study were to identify motivations for migration/relocation to urban centres, examine challenges faced, discuss primary effects on roles and responsibilities, and to identify supports needed.
