33.00USD

This extensively updated second edition is written to cover various aspects of the colonization and dehumanization of Indigenous peoples in Canada; and to provide information on the urban Indigenous experience. It explores the ways in which urban Indigenous peoples heal from colonialism and addictions in the city.

To this end, the book provides recommendations for developing policy and program frameworks for developing improvements to a colonial society, which is nurtured by Indigenous people’s death, oppression, impoverishment and social exclusion.

The experience of urban Indigenous life will not fade away. Indigenous populations are increasing within urban spaces every year. Sometimes Indigenous peoples feel there is nothing more for them in rural areas or on reserves. Recognizing that the city is a place filled with possibility, urban Indigenous peoples will continue to come, and their urban populations will continue to grow. The book rejects any false claim that Indigenous people should simply assimilate and end their struggle against colonialism.
