Description
Looks at the experiences of Aboriginal adults with the child welfare system and their concerns about the system. Also discussed are the effects that residential schools had on their parenting skills.
RCAP 20 contains files from the sitting of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples at Deh Cho Hall, Fort Simpson, Northwest Territories. This sitting of the Commission contains presentations on a variety of subjects such as children's and women's rights, residential schools, Inuit issues and the future formation of Nunavut. Each submission can be viewed individually on this site.
File contains an individual presentation by Mavis Gillie focusing on "the idea of a moral and spiritual dimension to the right of Aboriginal peoples to be distinct peoples, to have an adequate land base and to be self-governing." Gillie works within the Anglican Church of Canada and describes her frustration with politicians who are unfamiliar with Aboriginal issues.
File contains an individual presentation by Barbara Becker describing the effects of residential schools, Bill C-31 and discrimination against Aboriginal women have had on her family. She urges Canadian non-Aboriginals to understand their history because without that background, she feels that understanding Aboriginal history is impossible. Becker suggests having Commissioner Viola Robinson lead a closed hearing for Aboriginal women to present their concerns and ideas. Following the presentation is a discussion with the Commissioners.
