Learning About Anti-Indigenous Racism

Take the time to explore some Educational Links, Resources, and Videos that will help outline the different forms of Racism, the different ways Racism presents itself, and the actions you can take towards combatting Racism by becoming an “Anti-Racist”.

Because learning about Anti-Indigenous Racism is more than learning about the inequities, discrimination, stereotyping, and oppression that indigenous people(s) experience in all modern facets of life and society. It’s more than learning about the colonial mechanisms—that were, are, and continue to be—designed to perpetuate and reinforce injustice and inequities. It’s learning about how to stop it.

Learning About Policing And Community Safety

Take the time to explore some Educational Links, Resources, and Videos that will help outline the importance of community-based approaches to policing and community safety, what kinds of approaches are being taken, and different ways of implementing community-based approaches.

Learning about policing and community safety is not only learning about the fundamental principles of First Nation governance in a historical context, but also how First Nations continue to tirelessly advocate to incorporate traditional knowledge and protocols in a modern legal context. Learning about policing and community safety is also learning about by a First Nation having the ability to govern, maintain, and the autonomy to enforce community values, results in harmony and healing, rather than dissonance and decline.

Learning About First Nation Rights

Take the time to explore some Educational Links, Resources, and Videos that will help outline the difference between Indigenous law and Aboriginal law, what these different types of law look like, and how First Nations can enact and protect them.

Because learning about First Nation Rights is learning that in order for access to justice to truly be a fundamental value of the Canadian Justice System, then addressing the justice and legal services needs of First Nations must also be an immediate necessity. That the Canadian Justice System must address all the needs, of all the people that the system is required to serve simultaneously.
