Abstract:
The topic of discrimination against Aboriginal people in Canada is important because, at the individual level, it can negatively affect a person’s self esteem, identity and life chances. At the group level it can lead to unfavourable stereotypes as to how Aboriginal people are perceived by non-Aboriginal people and themselves, thus impacting the nature of Aboriginal culture. The issue is particularly important for Aboriginal people living in urban areas because it is in cities where the interaction between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people is most acute. This paper will examine this phenomenon by addressing the following research questions: What is the state of public discrimination against Aboriginal people in urban centres? What is the nature of public understanding of discrimination against Aboriginal people in urban areas? What is the best way to address the issue of discrimination against Aboriginal people in urban areas in an effort to move forward? Implications for policies and programs relating to ameliorating the problem and implications for further research will be addressed in the last section of the paper.
