    Georges Erasmus Contribution

    Born in 1948 in Fort Rae, Northwest Territories, Georges Erasmus grew up to be a major political figure and hero of the aboriginal peoples in his career. As a political activist and member of the Assembly of First Nations Erasmus carried forth a legacy of being a “Native rights Crusader” (CBC, 2014); but what does it mean to be a native rights crusader? Georges Erasmus made a lifelong contribution to the welfare of the Aboriginal peoples of Canada. As the president of the Dene nation, Erasmus pushed for self-government of the First Nations Peoples in Canada. During this time, Georges Erasmus rose through the political structure of the Assembly of First Nations.…

    Experience of the Attawapiskat Cree to Ojibwa in relation to the Canadian Government

    Experience of the Attawapiskat Cree to Ojibwa in relation to the Canadian Government

    The Attawaspiskat Cree and Ojibwa are a first nations group living in parts of Canada, mainly northern Ontario. The main languages spoken by these first nation groups are Mushkegowuk Cree and Ojibway. I will compare and contrast the experience of the Attawapiskat Cree to Ojibwa in relation to the Canadian Government. This will include analyzing the treaties introduced by the government towards the Cree and the Ojibwa: in particular, treaty 9 will be discussed. In addition, to these treaties the government has divided the first nation community into two different groups: status-Indians and non-status Indians. Within these two groups further division has been accomplished by the allocation of lands know as reserves to status-Indians and independent ownership for non-status Indians. This allocation of lands in reserves for status-Indians and independent ownership for non-status Indian is based on the policies developed through dependent and independent tenure. The laws permitting only status-Indians to live in reserves have fragmented the community and changes in culture and traditions have been rapid since the arrival of the government.…

    First Nations Grand Chief Summary

    The report outlines the extensive issues that existed prior to the modern land claim negotiations processes, and some of the more recent efforts that the federal government has made in order to regain the trust of Aboriginal communities. This report is authorized by the Canadian government, who holds a wealth of specific details regarding land claim negotiations. In this respect, this source is about as reliable as it gets. The report fully outlines the specific and comprehensive land claim negotiations processes. This source will be instrumental to my understanding of the dialogue that occurs between the government and Aboriginal groups in land claim negotiations. As well, when working on my policy paper, I can refer to some of the legal literature referenced in this report, such as for example, The Indian Act. This can help me to obtain a firm grasp on the ways in which First Nations people have been marginalized in the past, and possible ways that the government can achieve reconciliation with…

    Aboriginal Tribes Report

    The Report of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Aboriginal Tribes focuses on the mistreatment of the Aboriginal people as a result of British settler colonies and in its entirety mentions the status of a number of indigenous people across the British Empire, however this analysis will focus on the section of The Report regarding “New Holland” or Australia. Despite this, the content of this section of The Report can only truly be understood when placed in the wider context of The Report as a whole, and when the intentions of its authors are made clear. The Report of the Parliamentary Secret Committee on Aboriginal Tribes was released by the Aborigines Protection Society, who by their own admission was created to assist in protecting the…

    Positive Effects on Light Bulbs

    In 1953 the Apartheid Government enacted The Bantu Education Act, which established a Black Education Department in the Department of Native Affairs. The role of this department was to compile a curriculum that suited the "nature and requirements of the black people." The author of the legislation, Dr Hendrik Verwoerd (then Minister of Native Affairs, later Prime Minister), stated: "Natives [blacks] must be taught from an early age that equality with Europeans [whites] is not for them." Black people were not to receive an education that would lead them to aspire to positions they wouldn 't be allowed to hold in society. Instead they were to receive education designed to provide them with skills to serve their own people in the homelands or to work in laboring jobs under whites.…

    Roles, Responsibilities and Relationships in Lifelong Learning

    a) As Gravells (2012, pp.19) states, the legislation, regulatory requirements and codes of practice relevant to a teacher in the lifelong learning sector will “differ depending upon the context and environment in which you teach”. For example, different organisations and employers are likely to have differing policies and guidelines, such as dress-code, time-keeping, equalities, regulating the role of the teacher.…
