Study Notes
Indigenous Issues in Canada
- Residential Schools: Indigenous children were forcibly removed from their homes and families to attend residential schools. These schools aimed to assimilate Indigenous children, forbidding their native languages, clothing, and cultural traditions. Abuse, including physical, sexual, and psychological harm, was prevalent, contributing to high mortality rates due to poor nutrition and medical care. Schools primarily focused on manual labor skills.
Intergenerational Trauma
- Cycle of Trauma: When trauma is ignored and unsupported, it can be passed down through generations. This can lead to the normalization of unhealthy, harmful, and destructive behaviors within families.
Economic Issues
- Food Security: Indigenous communities face significant challenges related to food affordability and security on reserves.
Water Issues
- Clean Water Access: A lack of clean drinking water is a serious concern for many Indigenous communities, often due to the aftermath of colonialism, including damaged infrastructure and chemical leaks. Water advisories are common.
Environmental Racism
- Health Hazards: Indigenous peoples, disproportionately, experience the negative effects of policies that place them in proximity to unsafe environments or climates. Exposure to chemicals, toxins, and contaminated water is a significant concern.
Education
- Access to Education: Indigenous communities face disparities in access to education, particularly at the post-secondary level. Insufficient funding and accessibility issues hinder the pursuit of higher education. Pre-colonial Indigenous education prioritized observation, practice, oral teachings, and community ceremonies.
Living Conditions
- Housing Issues: Indigenous communities frequently face poor living conditions, including inadequate ventilation, damaged homes, and overcrowding, often leading to higher incidences of illness and injury. The risk of fire-related harm is significantly higher for Indigenous peoples compared to other communities.
Truth and Reconciliation
- Reconciliation Process: Truth and reconciliation aims to foster respectful relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples and address historical injustices.
Historical Oppression
- Indian Act: The Indian Act aimed to assimilate First Nations into Euro-Canadian culture, restricting traditions and cultural practices. The Act also imposed control over Indigenous people's work and employment.
- Sixties Scoop: A large-scale removal of Indigenous children from their families and communities.
Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW)
- Highway of Tears: A significant issue regarding the disproportionate number of missing and murdered Indigenous women, particularly young women, in Canada. Many cases remain unresolved.
- Red Hand Print: A symbolic representation of the silenced voices of thousands of missing and murdered Indigenous women.
Cultural Appropriation
- Appreciation vs. Appropriation: Appreciation involves learning about other cultures respectfully and ethically. Conversely, appropriation involves the exploitative use of elements from one culture by another, often in power imbalances.
Methods of Development
- Narrative, Cause and Effect, Comparison/Contrast, Example, Process Analysis, Description, Analogy, Facts, Data, Definitions are various methods used for developing ideas.
Rhetorical Techniques & Appeals
- Stylistic Techniques: Alliteration, metaphor, simile, irony, hyperbole, imagery, foreshadowing, and oxymoron are rhetorical devices employed in writing.
- Appeals: Ethos (credibility), Pathos (emotion), and Logos (logic) are rhetorical appeals writers use to persuade their audience.
