Niepełnosprawność jako proces i konstrukt społeczny w doświadczeniu kanadyjskiej ludności rdzennej
Disability as a process and social construct in the Canadian Indigenous experience

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses disability as a social construct and a process of reconstructing identity in reference to Indigenous experiences within the Canadian context. Aim. The aim of this paper is to explore critical understandings of the intersectional identities of Indigenous and disability. Method. The article uses the method of critical analyses related to a construct of disability in Indigenous experiences as well as the analyses of the reference literature. Conclusion. It shows that for Indigenous people the notion of disability is entangled in the world of senses and meanings, and thus the label of disability could be seen as a colonial construct that conflicts with Indigenous perspectives of life. It examines the role of Jordan’s Principle in understanding the challenges of culturally appropriate services and supports for Indigenous children with disabilities and their families
