| Abstract: | What have we learned from the last 150 years of colonization? That the federal government remains incapable or unwilling to protect the interests of Indigenous children. Despite the positive language of the prime minister that a new era has dawned, the systemic denial of the most basic services continues. We are losing children all the time to suicide, underfunded services or a broken foster care system. These are not isolated tragedies, but part of a rot that exists right in the core of how the federal government deals with Indigenous kids and communities. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
