The Marginalization of Aboriginals in the Canadian Justice System
The original people to live in Canada cod adapted the name Aboriginals. They were here before the European settlers discovered the perfect of North America. When the Europeans arrived in Canada they brought with the many technological advances and customs that the Aboriginals did non know. Although you talent think that this would be a truly great thing for Aboriginals, it was non very good. The Europeans thought that the aboriginals were very hostile and treated them very badly.The Europeans seek to assimilate the Aboriginals culture and force them to become wish well the Europeanss. The Canadian justice remains has marginalized the Aboriginals of Canada for many years. For the first couple speed of light years there were many wars between the Europeans and the Aboriginals. But then things started to stabilise and the Aboriginals and the European settlers began to trade amongst one another and become more than and more dependent on each other. provided, beginning in 1964, immediately undermentioned the Royal Proclamation, the British began to gain more control over the Aboriginals. They write numerous treaties with the Aboriginals for them to give up their land in exchange for a sum of money and small reserve lands specifically for the Aboriginal people. However the land the aboriginals were given was very poor and had bad soil which do it hard to farm. The idea of residential schools set out in 1846 and was commit into action in the late 1890s by the Department of Indian Affairs.The whole point of residential schools was deculturalization of aboriginals. However the government didnt entrust it so bluntly. They would say that the aboriginals are put in a sporty society to learn how to become better Canadians. Not only did residential schools commit culture genocide but there was too scads of abuse at the schools. For example, estimates suggest that as many as 60% of the students died (due to illness, beatings, attempts to escape, or suicide) while in the schools.They would be punished if they did not handle English even though many of the children didnt know how. The schools were also very poorly funded by the government and the children were usually taught physical labour. some(prenominal) of these issues have been solved and the government is still doing things today to religious service secure what they have done to the Aboriginals in the past. However Aboriginals are still very affected at what has been done to them. First Nation communities experience higher(prenominal) rates of violence, domestic abuse, sexual abuse rape, incest, etc. lack of family and alliance cohesion, suicide, addictions, alcohol, food, health problem diabetes, heart disease, obesity, poverty, unemployment, high school dropout (63% do not graduate), despair, hopelessness and more. The Aboriginal community has been marginalized by the Canadian Justice system which has affected them greatly. Hopefully the government will do everything they can to help aboriginal people become healthy members of society and keep their cultures and beliefs.
