I agree I was just thinking that. It would be really interesting to see if the numbers have changed. It would be a good test to see how much the 94 Calls to Action are being used for the education system.
I had a very hard time reading this, and I very much wanted to read it. The screen moved too quickly, and most of the red print was very difficult to make out. I hope to replay it soon. I believe its information all non-indigenous people need to have.
I came across this video for an essay I'm writing, and WOW. It's a beautifully made video with some scary statistics, but it's also enlightening to know that change can happen to ensure great education opportunities for everyone.
MyNVIT, have the stats changed at all since this video was put together? Many of us, who heard about Residential Schools (nice name but they were nothing more than concentration camps!), and the finding of so many babies, buried on the lands, we are heartbroken for all the Indigenous Peoples.
lol that is hilariuos, there is no way to verify that stat other than to say that is the amount of money the government would give up to native affairs. Since 2013 Canada has spent roughly 65 BILLION dollars on Native affairs. 65 Billion?? Ask your band councils and chiefs where all that money is. What because they are native they are not greedy lying politicians that only give a crap about themselves. natives want to blame someone for the poverty, drugs, alcahol, loss of culture etc they should start at home first with there parents, then their bands, then their chiefs. every forensic audit has not been good for the average native. personally I want the reserves gone, I want the speacial treatment gone. I want them treated the same as every other canadian including paying taxes. Equal doesn't mean special in any way
First of all by my wife's own band has claimed her not to be native enough as we live off reservation. What most don't know is funding and a lot of access to educational options end at the reservation borders. For collage there funded but have to maintain a GPA average of over 80% or they lose there funding. The feud is raising that first nations are beginning to be bias to each other and the bands seem to be benefiting from it I'm not impressed a solution is needed soon.
why do you think that college funding should be given to people less than 80%?? My daughter loses her scolarship if mark drop below 90%? You think "natives" deserve a free ride because they are native? Well guess what the answer to that question is NO. You have a problem with indigenous poverty? then talk to your band councils and chiefs, they are pretty fat off the money given to them. I support any indigenous that wants to work for it and goes and gets it. If you don't have your grade 12 then it's your fault, Its not societies fault. 6 years after I left with a grade 11 I went back, then i did college, working, surviving and getting educated. I don't have time for people that won't work for what they want
First Nations people should be and always will be thanked for allowing us to live along side them and also allowing us to call this land our home. So if anything I say they deserve everything escially after everything we have done to them. SO SAY THE PEOPLE OF !CANADA!

This is an incredibly moving video, but it poses many more questions than it answers. What possible solutions are there? What are the reasons for aboriginal people not graduating from high school? I've arrived here from the Coursera MOOC on Aboriginal Worldviews and Education... will MOOCs offer an opportunity for Aboriginal people to improve their education?
These deficits are evident equally evident across the border in the US as well.The video was well done. i would so like to see the children break this cycle of poverty....
There are barriers to obtaining education such as having a healthy environment, food/nutrition; access/transportation, lack of economic development and jobs, with income. Poverty, dependence is not holding hands. Its holding people back. Racism is history, all over the world and it is real. Walk a mile in someone else shoes or walk a mile without decent shoes. Try it on, then understand. Find solutions. Remove barriers. Open doors, instead of shutting them. Tribal College is the key to opening the door. Fund it, fairly like all others. The USA is far behind Canada on this matter.
that is true, but they need to put the past behind them and concentrate on the future of there children. The resources are there, and don't tell me they are not,i been amongst them all my life. Ive seen the good and i have seen the very corrupt. They need to abolish this chief and councillor form of leadership, its such a corrupt way of running a community. The people are not getting whats coming to them, too many hands in the pot.
@@TheBeaver1967 Many, if not most, bands would LOVE to "abolish the chief and councillor form of leadership", imposed on reserve bands by the Federal government, often with force or at gunpoint. Traditional forms of governance in indigenous communities serves them far better.
Hello MyNVIT I really find your video clip informative. I would like to know if you are Indigenous (as I don't want to make assumptions) and if you have sources for your information. I'm writing a paper for my class and my instructor/Prof prefers us to only use Indigenous voice.
The course is over and I rather think it was designed to open the eyes of people who are not First Nation people. Jethro should be congratulated in my opinion.
Just be proud and thank the Lord. you could try and inspire other First Nation People to act. Just think how gratifying that would be for you and how many people you could help.
exacly what do you mean? Though Aboriginals have ben colonized and stripped from their homes and placed into residential schools where education had tried to teach them to be white rather than educated, natives are the problem?
Tell me, is there a law in Canada saying that an aboriginal cannot live and work in Canada as I or anyone else do? Is there a law forcing them to stay in reserves? If for any reason the natives choose not to mix with us, what is our problem here? Where I live so live English, French, Indian, Chinese, African..... and none appear to have a serious problem mixing with others.
i mean that indian schools are very busily emphasizing indian culture in preference to a standard education...they're also not very efficient at it, since the average aboriginal is at least 2 years behind a nonaboriginal in school...in order to survive in today's world you need a grounding in the basic subjects without regard to ethnicity and past history...only the government will hire you because of affirmative action or because you're a native
I don't believe all Native are slow to education.. Sometimes if you choose not to learn your education the action are camouflage simply because of I don't care to learn your education. You would have to come with a different approach inorder to draw interest in a subject...🤔
The FACT is that this is one more video, one more group, blaming everyone except those who are really responsible. It doesn't where, or when, or what kind of education system you have, or who is running it, when kids fail, it is always the parent's fault.
independance is supposed to be a laudable quality, while continuous dependance on welfare cheques and government "help", is not...i've seen proportionately many more indians on skid row, than whites
if all those kids were physically killed in all those wicked irs schools, why can't anyone find a single body ? ...one single verified body ...one murder conviction or abuse convictions...i didn't like school either, but i don't need compensation for having attended...you definitedly shouldn't forget where you came from, 'cause you might begin thinking you're somehow normal
they were forced to send their children to school to have their culture taken and be forced to be Christians and assimilate. They were beat and sexually abused. How do you deny this?
an estimated 42% (from a 1907 paper by a government inspector) of children sent to residential schools died - from disease, from abuse, from suicide, or from exposure while trying to escape. Facts. Bodies were buried in mass graves. You've been sourcing inaccurate information from somewhere, and it's warped your brain.
Should there be a White Canadian holding the hand of EACH AND EVERY Aboriginal so they attend school, learn to the level of the White society in which they must function, and graduate from high school???
David Behrens Probably need adjustment in curriculum for Ancestry needs. Not many are stimulated by the current subjects and literature being taught in today's high schools. Literature being the way words are presented."One size fits all" doesn't apply... kind of thing. Idk, my opinion. Take it or leave it.
Olivia Whispers Do you trust the Canadian educational system to have developed a curriculum which prepares graduates for life in Canadian society?? I don't understand why Aboriginal children are sent to schools paid for by non-Aboriginals. This fact allows complaints about the education received by Aboriginal children. Aboriginals should pay for the education of their own children on Aboriginal land, supervise the schools themselves, and thereby be responsible for the product. of those schools.
Well your responsibility as the thieves who took their land and caused genocide! Your fault these people are the poorest in their own country while you feed of the riches your hypocrite government gives you.
+Gille87 Said, _"your responsibility as the thieves who took their land and caused genocide!"_ Social Darwinism prevailed. The more technologically developed culture won. It is EXACTLY that simple.
+itsdastuff *I AM HOME* My culture DOMINATES North America because it is technologically superior. It is EXACTLY that SIMPLE!! Want to join?? *GO TO SCHOOL AND LEARN WHILE YOU'RE THERE.*
Would be interesting to have a follow-up nearly 10 years later.
I agree I was just thinking that. It would be really interesting to see if the numbers have changed. It would be a good test to see how much the 94 Calls to Action are being used for the education system.
I had a very hard time reading this, and I very much wanted to read it. The screen moved too quickly, and most of the red print was very difficult to make out. I hope to replay it soon. I believe its information all non-indigenous people need to have.
The video is really worth stopping and reading as I can certainly concur with your frustration in reading as it is displayed.
I came across this video for an essay I'm writing, and WOW. It's a beautifully made video with some scary statistics, but it's also enlightening to know that change can happen to ensure great education opportunities for everyone.
I wonder if any of these numbers have improved since 2012...
Wasit just me who could not read the red text against the black background?
Tamsyn, some of these questions are addressed in the Pamela Palmeter article, Stretched beyond human limits: death by poverty in First Nations.
MyNVIT, have the stats changed at all since this video was put together? Many of us, who heard about Residential Schools (nice name but they were nothing more than concentration camps!), and the finding of so many babies, buried on the lands, we are heartbroken for all the Indigenous Peoples.
Excellent video. Thanks to the coursera class for linking it!
Excellent. Much needed information for ALL!
Niya'awa
The projected stat at 4:33 is mind blowing. The entire video is highly informative. Great work.
lol that is hilariuos, there is no way to verify that stat other than to say that is the amount of money the government would give up to native affairs. Since 2013 Canada has spent roughly 65 BILLION dollars on Native affairs. 65 Billion?? Ask your band councils and chiefs where all that money is.

personally I want the reserves gone, I want the speacial treatment gone. I want them treated the same as every other canadian including paying taxes. Equal doesn't mean special in any way
Corrections: "EFFECT" should be changed to "AFFECT"
Does anyone know how i can make a video like this? I need to make one for a presentation, and this is great.
Kine master
I hope your assignment goes good!!!

You might wish to take the Aboriginal Worldviews and Education Course at Coursera.
The reality is clear, now I would like the reasons of those results, not only statistics !
