Assisting the Indigenous youth community through art (11 photos)

“For me,” Boucher said, “Neechee studio stood out because I felt as though I could express myself and as a broke student…it was all free: the food, the art supplies and [the opportunity to] mingle with talented Indigenous artists.”

Canada: Consultation And Engagement With Indigenous Peoples During COVID-19

The Crown continues to have a duty to consult Indigenous peoples when a potential Indigenous or Treaty right may be adversely affected by Crown conduct regardless of any challenges caused by COVID-19, including limitations around the parties’ ability to physically meet. Both the Crown and proponents must adapt their consultation and engagement practices to meet the current challenges while still ensuring that Indigenous peoples are meaningfully consulted and accommodated. Inadequate consultation can further delay a project in the longer term.

Manitoba First Nations add COVID-19 to worries as wildfire season approaches

St. Theresa Point Chief Marie Wood says evacuations are always nerve-racking for many who live in the community of about 4,000 people. But this year, the risk of evacuees being exposed to COVID-19, and bringing it back to the isolated First Nation, adds to the stress.

“That’s going to happen if they have to stay in a hotel,” she said, of a potential scenario that would see people moved out of the community into hotels in Winnipeg.

How COVID-19 Threatens the ‘Very Survival’ of Indigenous South Americans

Governments should listen to the demands of their indigenous citizens, and should work toward a new social order that reduces social inequality and offers fair and dignified treatment to all its citizens, indigenous or otherwise. Training for government personnel in intercultural skills and awareness is a must, as government responses should be based on what each indigenous group asks for
