As a service provider for those who have been impacted by poverty we would like to share the following:Research by Belanger et al (2013) found that one in 15 urban Indigenous people are homeless, compared with the average of one in 128 non-Indigenous people across Canada. In other words, urban Indigenous people are about eight times more likely to be homeless than the non-Indigenous population.Indigenous experiences of homelessness can be directly correlated to the ongoing impacts of colonization, including Residential Schools, the Sixties Scoop, displacement from land, culture, and resources through the Indian Act, and the intergenerational trauma rooted in the ongoing process of colonization.Today, the Busby Centre challenges all non-Indigenous people to educate themselves about the colonization of Canada, the oppression of Indigenous peoples and the inter-generational trauma that continues to impact Indigenous peoples today. You can begin your journey of participation in the truth and reconciliation process by taking a 12-week, free course that is offered by the University of Alberta (link below). www.coursera.org/learn/indigenous-canadaTruth needs to be followed by reconciliation. Words are no longer enough. We may not have created the system but if we continue to allow that system to oppress...THAT we are responsible for! Take your new found knowledge and find ways to actively participate in truth and reconciliation. Reference: Greater Victoria Alliance to End Homelessness - Indigenous Homelessness in Canada ...
