"Why Are Indigenous Children Overrepresented in Canada’s Child Welfare System?"
"Why are Indigenous children overrepresented in Canada’s child welfare system? Indigenous children in Canada face significant challenges due to unjust policies and decisions by Canadian governments. They are disproportionately represented in the child welfare system, reflecting the lingering impacts of policies like the residential school system and the Sixties Scoop. These children need Canadians to believe in their worth and invest in their futures. Despite these issues, government actions remain insufficient, worsening the situation. In this episode of NDN POV, we delve into critical issues surrounding Indigenous child welfare in Canada."
