Aboriginal Gathering: Are You One of the People (2013)
In March 2013, the Aboriginal Services Work Group hosted a gathering for Aboriginal service providers, elders and knowledge holders, and non-Aboriginal service providers working with Aboriginal communities. The primary focus of the gathering was to explore and learn more about self-identification ~ what is it?; what does it mean to each of us?; how can mainstream organizations support self-identification for Aboriginal clients?
This report summarizes suggestions and ideas to promote safe, respectful self-identification for Aboriginal children, youth and their families generated by participants at the gathering.
