The Social Difficulties of Canadian Aboriginal Peoples: Escaping a Legacy of Oppression

Summary/Abstract: The Social Difficulties of Canadian Aboriginal Peoples: Escaping A Legacy of oppression in the course of history, Canadian Aboriginal people have faced a unique set of challenges and have suffered-from subjugation and discrimination deeply rooted in their shared history with the French and British settlers during the pre-Confederation Period. Although laws have changed over the course of centuries, amendments have been made, and Aboriginal rights have been granted (and are generally taken more seriously), Canadian Aboriginals are still secondary citizens in Canada in certain ways. In my paper, I intend to offer a survey of the present-day social situation of Canadian Aboriginals, the difficulties they face as well as examine the history-related root cause(s) of these difficulties.
