During this time, family members emphasized that understanding and honoring individuals whose lives were cruelly cut short necessitates a detailed accounting of all the ties that molded their loved one's life and that their loved one, in turn, shaped. Throughout the process, public community hearings were held, private statements were collected, expert panels were formed, and written archive records and existing studies on the problem were reviewed. This process aims to find the truth by gathering many stories from many people to have the truths woven together to show the world what violence really looks like for Indigenous women and girls in Canada. The National Inquiry reached out to put families first throughout the process rather than others who hold power, as well as being informed about the trauma encountered and making sure there is no further harm, and decolonizing where in they center Indigenous ways of being, knowing, and doing. The idea of cultural safety emerged from this process as a foundational principle of wellness. The inquiry’s structure was determined through extensive public consultation with family and …show more content…

Because Finnis is concerned with human flourishing and life fulfillment, the way Canada has had such a detrimental influence on Indigenous women and girls' security, rights, and safety, among other things, the perspective would not see that the basic principles of human existence are being met. Looking at the report's suggestions, Finnis sees them as a step forward towards effective human flourishment and fulfillment of life. Finnis believes that once essential values of life such as safeguarding rights, having a decent sense of culture, good health, security, and justice are met, these are the correct circumstances for basic values of human existence. If these prerequisites are not met, Finnis' legal morality is considered as not morally defensible, does not allow for human flourishing, and goes against sociability, which finally drives people apart, as witnessed in

  • Gerald Stanley's Storying Violence, Questions And Answers

    1633 Words  | 7 Pages

    The major question that the court attempted to determine was whether Stanley’s “conduct with the gun was a marked departure from the level of care that ‘a reasonable person’ would have exercised in ‘the same circumstances.’” One major discrepancy in answering this question is determining how credible it was for the Indigenous youth to enter Stanley’s farm. On the one hand, the court framed “reason” through the settler colonial lens in respecting property endowed to Stanley by the Canadian government. Therefore, they saw Stanley as reasonable because it was the Indigenous people who drove onto his land. Contrary to these beliefs, Indigenous people understand “reason” as respecting land rights established in Treaty 6, which designated Stanley’s farm as being in Red Pheasant territory.

  • Settler Colonialism In Johawk Simpson

    504 Words  | 3 Pages

    Simpson’s book tells the story of the Mohawks and their story of survivance amid the radical transformation brought about by settler colonialism. Her book discusses their struggle, fighting to keep their right to sovereignty as a Nation, separate from the US and Canada. Simpson illustrates the lives of the Mohawks in their reservation, and shows that they are more than the ironworkers that have come to be the stereotype for the Mohawk people. She argues that the Mohawks’ ongoing struggle proves that Settler Colonialism continues to exist, and continues to fail to eliminate and assimilate Indigenous people. Simpson begins by addressing the “question of membership,” that is, the criteria for political membership and formal recognition within

    As Jesse describes the events he witnessed as a child, he explains, “The fridge had a few half-drunk beer bottles, an old light bulb, and a hardened turnip. Sometimes he’d go away for two or three days and leave us nothing” (Thistle 18). At this time, Jesse and his brothers, Jerry and Josh, were living with both their parents, and although they had been financially comfortable to a certain extent, they had to suffer from various forms of abuse from their father, which forced them to have to learn how to fend for themselves from an incredibly young age. Unfortunately, the concept of being raised in broken households, is common within the Indigenous populations in Canada, due to the trauma that has been passed down from generation to generation. In the article, “Intergenerational Trauma: Convergence of Multiple Processes among First Nations peoples in Canada,” it states, “It is further argued that the shared collective experiences of trauma experienced by First Nations peoples, coupled with related collective memories, and persistent sociocultural disadvantages, have acted to increase vulnerability to the transmission and expression of intergenerational trauma effects” (Bombay et al. 2009)

    Silenced Sisters: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Homicide and sexual violence against American Indian and Alaska Native women are alarmingly ordinary in North America. From animated movies to western films, the general public has long seen the image of the Indigenous woman, a picture shrouded in dehumanization and fetishization. Historical treatment and perception of Indigenous women encourage trends of psychological and sexual abuse, far too often free from repercussions. Beyond a doubt, missing and murdered Indigenous women have remained forgotten by the North American justice system.

    This, allows the authors to critique multiculturalism; which they perceive as another colonial attempt to whip out indigenous narratives. Brascoupé and Waters argue that the idea of a nation built in immigration (mainly by white/Caucasians) undermines indigenous history. Under this line, they also analyze how color-blind and race-blind policies perpetuate systemic violence by denying the rampant discrimination and marginalization that non-white communities (broadly) and indigenous communities (specifically) are subjected to. The authors defend that decolonization is based on self-determination, which inherently would empower indigenous communities and would bolster the healing process by helping them overcome the legacy of
